Jersey Cape NATURALLY

I learned something new today about spider crabs. The discovery was made by an inquiring student who was accompanying me on a seining expedition under the Stone Harbor bridge. As we walked along the shore I noticed the backs of several spider crabs buried in the mud. I assumed that they were pieces of skeletons that had washed up unto the beach as is often the case and passed them up. However Dean, having not been to the shore often, was poking at everything. He decided to dig out this back only to find that the back was attached to the front as well as all the other parts and indeed was one of the largest spider crabs I’ve ever seen. As we worked over the area we found several more crabs buried the same way. Some were in shallow water, others were high and dry as the tide was low. We dug up several and found them all to be quite alive. Upon release, they walked slowly away. I wondered why they were behaving so. Were they waiting out high tide? Hiding from predators, or perhaps lying in ambush for a likely meal? Further study may reveal the answers. Spider crabs are known for their camouflaging antics. Indeed, they will actively gather bits of sponge, seaweeds and hydroids which they fasten unto their backs, thus creating “marine gardens” which they tend and modify. In addition, their bodies are covered with chitonous hairs which become coated with a bacterial ooze which provides an excellent growth media for hydroids, tube worms and other marine invertebrates. Should you find a small crab so covered you may wish to'put it into aquarium, as we do at the Institute, so that you may watch it tend its “garden”.
