The Spider Crab has the largest leg-span of any arthropod in the world at 12 ft. from claw to claw. It's biggest enemy is the octopus.
The main enemies of the Japanese Spider Crab are octopuses, large fish, and occasionally humans who catch them for food. These crabs have a hard exoskeleton which provides protection against predators, but they are still vulnerable during molting when their shells are soft.
There are various types of crabs, including blue crabs, Dungeness crabs, snow crabs, king crabs, and spider crabs. These crabs vary in size, color, habitat, and taste, offering a diverse range of options for seafood enthusiasts.
Spider crabs are omnivores, meaning they consume both plant and animal matter. Their diet typically consists of algae, small fish, mollusks, and other crustaceans. They are known to scavenge for food on the ocean floor using their specialized feeding appendages.
Spider crabs have a symbiotic relationship with algae because they use the algae for camouflage. The algae attaches to the spider crab's shell, providing it with a protective covering that helps it blend in with its surroundings and avoid predators. In return, the spider crab provides the algae with mobility and access to nutrients as it moves around the ocean floor.
Most crab Spiders live in Kentucky, US and hide on flowers to catch there prey.
Octopi for one, but they are also cannibalistic. Humans sometimes fish for them as well!
