The Robber Crab is found in some of the islands in the Nicobar Group and in
South Sentinel in the Andaman group.
From what little is known the robber crab population has been badly affected
after the tsunami particularly because the low lying coastal forests which
are its main habitat have been badly hit.
I am not aware of anybody who is researching the robber crab in the islands.
