Introduced species remark In Palau part of the North Pacific Ocean (Marine Region) : In Palau, M. oceanicus may be locally common above the waterline on notched, steep, karstic shores on protected embankments. In Koror this is the dominant crab out in the open in the upper intertidal to supralittoral zone. [details]
