Japanese spider crabs have few natural predators due to their large size and spiky armor-like exoskeleton.

However, their primary defense mechanism is to hide in crevices and utilize their camouflage to avoid detection.

Are Japanese spider crabs edible?
The Japanese spider crab is a scavenger just like all other crabs. They have 8 legs, plus two long claws for feed in the front. They usually dead animals on the ocean floor as well as shellfish. They are also known as the "dead man's crab" as they have been found feeding on drowning victims in the past. Although they are the largest crab, they are very docile despite their size.
Can You Have A Japanese Spider Crab As A Pet?
.... I'll improve this horrific answer. I'm assuming, first of all, that you know that the spider crab is in fact a crab. Spider crabs are crustaceans, part of the Superfamily Majoidea. They are scavengers, and several species are decorator crabs as well, meaning that they decorate their shells. Tanks displays should be simple, a few rock formations, little algae, and a sandy floor. However, I would discourage the keeping of the Japanese Spider Crab simply because of its size. Japanese spider crabs can grow from 4-10 feet in length (and not 16 feet, as the previous answerer suggested) and therefore do need a lot of room. Perhaps not quite as much as my predecessor suggested (something like 60 feet by 30 feet) but certainly a very large tank. If you would like to keep a Spider Crab, I would recommend keeping a Portly Spider Crab, which can be found in the North Atlantic and can grow from 2-3 feet in length. This will still require a somewhat large tank, but nowhere near as large as what would be needed for a Japanese crab. Continuing, Spider Crabs are docile creatures, and I would recommend them to any experienced aquarium owner. You just need a large enough tank. Caring for a spider crab: Spider crabs need little intensive care and are largely nocturnal. They also require socialization once in a while, but having other creatures in the tank would generally be good enough. Spider crabs feed on dead fish, shrimp, and other bits of dead matter and debris. Due to their generally slow movements, it is important that you supervise their feeding, and make sure that they get the nutrients they need. Another important point is that crab tanks require regularly applied amounts of supplement chemicals, like iodine, which help crabs make their shell. Don't despair, though- putting in a bunch of seashells (which dissolve and release said chemicals) will supply the water with enough materials.

Do crabs blink?
Oh, dude, crabs don't blink because they don't have eyelids. They have compound eyes that are constantly moistened by their tear glands, so they don't need to blink like us humans. I mean, imagine a crab trying to wink at you with those beady little eyes, that would be a sight to see!
