What are abiotic factors in the intertidal zone?

Animals living on the rocks surface are called epifauna, these organisms in the rocky intertidal are fully exposed to the elements, causing a lot of physical stress. Low tides usually are problems for organisms with the highest part of the intertidal almost never immersed. Another abiotic factor includes the coping with wave shock, organisms must be able to withstand, or find shelter. One last factor is space which is so limited at times, that organisms may attach to each other instead of the rocks.

How do crabs get under rocks?

Actually They are called rock crabs, Because they are Crabs born with rocks on there back -Actually, there are lots of types of crabs that live on rocky platforms in intertidal beach zones that are NOT born with rocks on their back, but shelter under rocks to avoid wind, heat loss, protection from predators etc. If you happen to be on a beach you can lift a rock that is inhabited by crabs and can watch them scurry away and slip under another rock. Rocks do not fit perfectly to the ground, so there is a lot of space for a thin crab to fit under.
