The crab Grapsus grapsus is one of the most common crabs along the western coast of South America. It can also be seen along the entire Pacific coast of Central America and Mexico, and nearby islands.

Percnon gibbesi is the other species of crab commonly called Sally Lightfoot and is also referred to as the nimble spray crab or urchin crab. It has been described as "the most invasive decapod species to enter the Mediterranean"
