The Tasmanian King #Crab is one of the largest crab species in the world. Male crabs can weigh up to 17.6 kilograms (39 pounds) & have a carapace width of up to 46 centimeters (18 inches), while females are much smaller, rarely exceeding 7 kilograms (15 pounds).
Found off the southern coast of #Australia, living at depths between 20 and 820 meters. They prefer rocky and muddy sea bottoms and are most commonly found at depths of 110 to 180 meters during the summer and 190 to 400 meters in winter.

Love songs in the sand: Researchers listen in to fiddler #crab courtship https://phys.org/news/2025-04-songs-sand-fiddler-crab-courtship.html

Constraints on percussive seismic signals in a noisy environment by European #FiddlerCrabs, Afruca tangeri https://journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/228/7/jeb249323/367607/Constraints-on-percussive-seismic-signals-in-a

"For fiddler #crabs, vibrational signals are a crucial part of their courtship routines... males with larger claws produced higher-energy seismic signals, with higher amplitude drumming spikes. This appears to prevent the male from being dishonest about their size"

I was made aware of the Playstacean and
1.) I NEED one
but
2.) It also got me thinking about carcinization and I'm now wondering if the "rewrite it in rust" movement is just the software equivalent. Either way I am ready to be crab. Here are the various links for you too to get ready for crab:
