[CLAWS]
Spider CrabGiant Japanese crabs with a one-metre claw-span star in our claws attraction. These spider crabs, the world´s biggest species, are capable of growing to an amazing three metres across.

That´s big enough to straddle the average family saloon. 		Spider Crab
Flown in from Japan in special crates, the crabs will spend a couple of weeks acclimatising in our Marine Hospital quarantine unit before going on display.CrawfishCreatures featured in Claws will include a lobster and the well known fiddler crab, and amongst the other residents will be prehistoric looking horseshoe crabs.
Massive though they are, even the spider crabs will be glad that there will be a few feet of glass and walkway between them and another Claws exhibit, the mantis shrimp, the mantis shrimp has a spring-loaded front claw packing a punch equivalent to the impact of a .22 bullet.
