Japanese Spider Crab at Sea Life Arizona Aquarium

Japanese Spider Crab

© 2011 Sea Life Arizona
Visiting Sea Life Arizona isn't a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Aside from the fact that you'll probably notice something different each time you go to Sea Life Arizona, from time to time new exhibits will be introduced. For example, in 2011 Sea Life Arizona opened the Claws exhibit where crustaceans rule. Meet the Japanese spider crabs, which can grow to 15 feet across, and the coconut crabs that can crack open coconuts using their powerful claws.

I'll bet you didn't know that Japanese spider crabs can live for 100 years! So, how old is the Japanese spider crab in this picture? I didn't think it was polite to ask, and I didn't want to make her angry!
