Very little is known about the habits of the Giant Crab because it lives in such deep water.

This is some of what we know:
Giant Crabs live in the cold dark waters between 300-400 metres deep off the South East of Australia. They average around 6kgs. With a maximum of 14kgs. Their diet consists of slow-moving prey like molluscs and seastars.

Giant Crabs are the largest living crustacean (shelled animal)
