A crab that likes to partially bury itself in the substrate lying in wait for food.
The Spider crab is notable for its extremely long legs which are covered in attractive banding. It often sits with its body partially buried in the substrate and its legs sprawled out around it. It is an opportunistic feeder which may overpower small creatures, such as other crustaceans. It does best with large fish and other sizable invertebrates that can defend themselves. It makes an effective scavenger and can grow up to a 8 inches leg span.
