Grapsus grapsus is one of the more common crabs along the western coast of the Americas. G. grapsus was collected by Charles Darwin during his voyages on HMS Beagle. It is known variously as "red rock crab", "abuete negro", and along with crabs such as Percnon gibbesi [a/k/a"Sally Lightfoot"], has been observed in an apparent cleaning symbiosis, taking ticks from marine iguanas on the Galápagos Islands.
