Information about the Sheep Crab:

Sheep Crab are the largest members of the spider crab family and native to the coastlines and kelp forests of the Pacific ocean. They are fairly large crustaceans with a carapace of about 6.5 inches for males (17 centimeters) males and 4.5 inches (11 centimeters) wide for females. These crabs are fairly common and are often encountered standing in the open by divers. Otherwise, they spend their time hidden in rocky places, using their formidable camouflage to stay hidden. Unlike the other crabs found in their ecosystem such as Dungeness and Red Crab there is no large market for Sheep Crab as food, although they are edible.
