A close-up photo of a yellow ghost crab who is looking directly at camera. One claw (the one on the right) is much bigger than the other claw. The crab has noticeably large (and cute) black eyes.

A tiny hermit crab looks up at the camera from shallow water. It is surrounded by sand and rocks.

This little hermit crab reminds me of WALL-E with those eyes. Fitting since hermit crabs eat almost anything, keeping the ocean floor tidy.

A photo of a crab, a dark red one with green markings. The crab is just left and up from center. The crab sits on a little mound of wet sand he or she gathered. The sand around the crab is wet and reflects the crab's claws.

"As if king crablets aren't cute enough already, some are known to take rides on pudgy little sea pigs (Scotoplanes).

That's because their habitat includes vast, muddy plains that provide little obstacles to hide behind, so the vulnerable baby crustaceans have resorted to using other animals for shelter instead.

Sea pigs provide the perfect cover. As harmless scavengers, these translucent creatures spend their days languidly snuffling their way across the sea floor for tasty bits of dead animals, poop, and mucus to devour.

In 2016, researchers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute checked out about 2,600 sea cucumbers and found almost a quarter of them were playing mount to the juvenile king crab, Neolithodes diomedeae."

"King crabs are just one of many non-related species that have arrived at a crab shape, thanks to similar selection pressures molding their evolution. This phenomenon is called convergent evolution, where the same trait can develop in species that aren't related.

It has happened so often with crab shapes it's been named carcinization.

King crabs evolved from hermit crabs, and lost the need for a shell home up to 25 million years ago.

Unlike true crabs that have eight walking legs, king crabs only have six legs for walking. They also have a large attacking claw and and a smaller feeding claw up front, as the baby king crab so obligingly displays while sitting pink and pretty on a giant alien's purple glove."

The most adorable baby king #crab, accidentally collected by NOAA researchers in the Gulf of Mexico, has become an instant online sensation. Collected by a research boat while scientists were collecting coral samples, the tiny stowaway is suspected to be a juvenile Neolithodes agassizii.

A yellow shore crab (Hemigrapsus oregonensis), displaying its characteristic "fuzzy" legs, though realizing that tricks of nomenclatory fate have rendered it ineligible, and though being only the size of a half-dollar, nonetheless stands proud and ready (in a human hand) to storm a couple offices in Sac.

Justice for Pachygrapsus! Justice for Hemigrapsus nudus!

(Hemigrapsus oregonensis should've thought better about the branding if they wanted to be part of this.)

C'mon, #crabsky -- let's organize.
