I know I normally have a snarcastic comment but that thing is too creepy looking and scares me.

If anyone with better science news can find a better article about this, I would love to hear it.

Edit: I think it looks like it could one day become a Pokemon. Watch out if it shoots lightning at you

It's kinda cute.

That's the kind of thing that gets Muppet-ified and then proceeds to shake Maracas while singing something.

Oh my god, keep it away from me!!! Is it trying to pretend it's a dog? Scuttling along, doing tricks like play dead?

*shudders*

Aww, I think it's pretty cute too! Although I would not like to eat one. o_0

Why did the blonde crab scale the coral reef?

To see what was on the other side.

No, I think it's awesome. Like all those stuffed lobsters you see at zoo gift shops? This is the real thing. Just a little more pincer-y, is all.

EDIT: Although in that picture, it does look a little bit like a tick with claws. I'm sort of curious as to whether it has a legitimate tail like other lobsters.

I'm totally with Sky on this one. Way too creepy for me.

I saw something about that on the news ticker at the bottom of my local news channel, and I thought that was weird.

It's so cute! It kinda looks like it got in a fight with shag carpeting. xD
