Is the blue crab scared or would be frightened by color I have bright rubber boots and is wandering if it will scare them away?

Answer 1

Crabs do not detect color but would be scared by vibrations caused by footsteps. Crabs universally attempt to flee humans interloping in their territory.

Answer 2

Blue crabs are not typically scared by bright colors like your rubber boots. They are more likely to react to sudden movements or loud noises. However, it's always a good idea to approach them calmly and avoid stepping too close, as they may scuttle away to seek cover.
