The ghost crab consists of approximately 20 species world wide. Like all crabs, it is carnivorous. For most ghost crabs, their diet consists of sand fleas while others from the South Pacific can pick off flies from underneath plant leaves. They also dine on most carrion making them a scavenging carnivore as well.

Ghost crabs are omnivorous and primarily feed on small crustaceans, mollusks, detritus, and plant material. They are opportunistic feeders and will scavenge for food along the shorelines where they live.

Yes, but they have very little edible flesh. You could make a stew out of a few dozen that would yield a nourishing broth, a lot of shell-cracking, and a little meat.

It eats the outermost leaves of marsh plants, especially cordgrass and sometimes preys upon fiddler crabs.
