I owned this crab.



It was an excellent pet.

Other crabs I have nonspecific admiration of.

crabs are like tuff little sand Knights, riding around on the beach and getting into fights because they are cool
My thoughts exactly. Combative little scavengers. The most human of a sealife. (Octupus are badly overrated, smart does not equal human, being an angry dick is to be human)

Further example, in tanks crabs will fight to the death if they do not have 1squre foot of space to themselves. Unless, that is, you pack them in to a high density where nobody has any space at all, then they can get along fine. Crabs even have that rural vs. urban divide where putting them in the suburbs drives them mad and they get arrested for jealously loving up someones lawn/seaweed.

I spent way too much money for way too long in the reef tank hobby. The worst part is that what really brought me the most joy in my various reeftanks was watching the armies of cheap little hermit crabs you put in there to clean things. These guys are like 3/dollar. They spend their days loving each other up, shell jacking each other's homes, and scaling the rockwork, performing death-defying acts of mountain climbing, which almost always leads to them falling.

Now I want another reeftank.

Showpiece fish are the worst. If its not just there to be snipped and snapped at by lil' claws then its sea garbage.

one of my favorite pieces of art is all crabs

ai weiwei - river crab


Wasn't the word "river crab" banned on Chinese social media last year for being sound-alike with a government corruption?

All I'm saying is, modern art is a racket, Ai Weiwei is a hack and those good lil crabs died for no useful purpose.

That makes it worse because it means Ai was once again exploiting his art degree grad labor force of interns and hangers-on in a cruel porcelain mill rather than having the guts to kill a thousand crabs himself.

I always read the thread title as those "Farmers Only!" commercials. Where the thread is a place for crabs to chat and hookup with eachother but its ok if you aren't a crab and are just into them for your own creepy reasons.

Well done.

Molting looks like a lot of hard work but I bet it feels real satisfying. We lowly vertebrates will never know what it's like.

You can take a particular steroid that makes the soles of your feet come off in one large cast of dead skin.

It must be pretty close.

(I've always wanted to try it)

Crabs are the Selena Gomez' of the multi-legged animal kingdom. Even when you know they are ragged and gross and strung out, they are still kinda cute because of the big head, and big expressive baby-like eyes.

Spiders are the Taylor Swift, where the appendages are too long for its head, the eyes are small and angry even if she's dressed up in a onesie at a children's charity, you instinctively can feel the danger and venom sacs concealed behind the segmented eyes and defensive hairs.

When I die, I want my corpse dropped in the ocean, smack dab in the middle of crab country so that one minute one is daintily picking at my ears, and then then next thing you know three crabs are fighting over my dead balls.
Same, but it has to be cold near-arctic water though so I'd not rot through before they could enjoy the best, inner parts of me.

I would make such an excellent meal for crabs. So much calorie rich fat and cholesterol for them to snip and nibble at.

Start with a skin tag and just train your body up into it. You'll quickly adapt.
