Meet Claude - A 15 pound monster King Crab from Tasmania
Claude is the biggest crab on display in the UK and weighs a mighty 15lb with a 15-inch shell – enough to make 160 crab cakes.
He is 100 times bigger than a standard UK shore crab. Yet he is still a juvenile and will grow to double his weight.
Claude was caught off the coast of Tasmania last month, but was sold to the Sea Life group along with two other Tasmanian giant crabs

@skrillas Haha, don't try to argue with these types. Radiation is a scary word, and they're very impressionable. Just like global warming loons. Everything can be evidence. Giant crabs, radiation. Algae blooms, radiation. No algae blooms, radiation.

Normally I'd say throw him back in, but at least he's safe and living the good life in a huge tank 10 feet high and 6 feet wide feasting on mackeral and squid which is gourmet food to a crab. He'll reach 30 lbs. one day.

a 4" x 4" section of it's claw would be more than anyone could get at a crab buffet.

Nope. That's a real crab and not even full grown yet. I always Google when suspect, but this is on the up and up.
