Goneplax rhomboides is a species of crab. It is known by the common name angular crab[1] because of its angular carapace.[2] Although it is also called the square crab,[3] its shell is in fact more trapezoidal than square (or rhomboidal, as its scientific name might suggest).[2] This species is also known as the mud-runner because they are able to run away quickly when threatened.[2]
