Weird crab...

[Jeox]

Anyone know the species on this?
No picture, but it looked like a rock, the body was about as big as a quarter with arms that were 6'' stretched out, and were kept folded at it's side. short stubby legs, with wicked fish hook claws.
Looked like the crab version of this..with stubby legs.

i think that they eat those on Fear Factor sometimes. Don't know the name though.

 

[Jeox]

no way, this thing was armored looking with NASTY claws. Pretty sure it would screw you up if you put it in you're mouth.
