Not to be confused with the gordon lightfoot crab, which is native to Lake Superior.

barnacles are closely related to crab, their little feeding appendages are modified creb legs

the class Malacostraca is the cool and good class that contains crabbos and barnaclads (barnacle lads). It's also got the lobsters and shrimps. But importantly not the spiders. Barnacles are like way more Creb than spiders.

My favorite crabs main prey is barnacles.

The OP posted spiders on the very first page of this thread so suck it spider haters.

First they complained spiders don't have claws, but they were proven wrong.

Now they've turned to weird arguments about lineage without noticing that would rule out horseshoe crabs too. (not to mention scorpions, sea scorpions and pseudo scorpions - all of them good, pinchy, friends!)

cranbs = sea spiders

spiders = web crebs

Yeah gently caress spiders they don't even have piles.

No pinching claws, no pile, no hardened carapace, no crab.

Additionally, crabs are cool and good, while spiders are weird and gross.

QED.

I will concede this is a better argument but spider fangs are just modified pincers and do indeed pinch

They also make with the pile - go look up wolf spiders if you don't believe me.

However in the interests of harmony, here is a good crob that we can all agree on and enjoy!

Spiders are cool but stabby-pokey is not the same as pinchy-graby

Most spiders have pinchy-grabby chelicerae (which means 'claws' or 'pincers'). In any case I'll leave off postin' em so as not to scare away arachnophobes from enjoying pinchy friends.

In conclusion, creabs.
