Ocypode convexa, commonly known as the  golden ghost crab, or alternatively the  western ghost crab  or  yellow ghost crab, is a  species  of  ghost crabs  endemic  to the coast of Western Australia, from  Broome  to  Perth. They are relatively large ghost crabs, with a  carapace  growing up to 45  mm (1.8  in) long and 52  mm (4.0  in) wide. They are easily recognizable by their golden yellow colorations. Like other ghost crabs they have box-like bodies with unequally sized claws. They also have large  eyestalks  with the  cornea  occupying most of the bottom part. Golden ghost crabs are common inhabitants of open sandy beaches, living in burrows in the  intertidal  and  supratidal zones. They are predominantly nocturnal and semi-terrestrial. They are a  generalist species, feeding on  carrion  and  debris, as well as  preying  on small animals. Along with the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), they are significant as one of the main predators of eggs and hatchlings of Western Australian  sea turtles, particularly the  Endangered  loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) which has one of the largest  rookeries  in the region.
