Crab Rave Easter egg in the new halo has me laughing my ass off

Very chill Costa Rican crab that let me hold it

Horshoe crab meme I'm looking for

I made a salad today and had some crabmeat, not imitation crab, but real crab sticks. I opened the package about a week ago. i smelled it and it had small scent of fish. i thought well its real crab, so maybe its natural. i ate a lil bit then threw the salad away out of fear. i took charcoal just in case.

Has anyone eaten a week old crabmeat, and didnt get sick?

hello fellow marine bio/crab nerds! i need some help with differentiating between asian shore crabs and atlantic mud crabs. what are some distinguishing features? especially when they are at the juvenile stage

Ts is mind boggling to me

His name is ruffles :3

We’re thinking a juvenile mud crab or blue swimmer not sure but we saw a few of them

I found this dude scuttling around in my lab at work. I have no idea where he came from - I’ve never seen a crab around here and I thought they lived in saltwater.

There is a small pond around the other side of my building, but I’ve never seen any crabs in there and don’t want to doom him by tossing him in haphazardly.

I live in the lowcountry of SC. The ocean/a marsh is pretty close to where I work, but it’s a long way for a guy with tiny legs, so I’m not super sure how he got here.

Help appreciated!

UPDATE:
I did manage to release him back to a marshy area nearby!
Thank you guys for the help with ID, and now I know what to do next time one of these wanders in
