I see the reef lobsters but not these guys (as pets- these are for eating)

The heaviest arthropod in the world- and probably not difficult to obtain because of the food trade.

There's also king crabs... Some species reach a leg span of 5 feet!

I don't know about husbandry, but I guess it would require a very large coldwater tank, so its understandable not many people do it. But still, surely I'm not the only one who gets the urge to take one of these guys when they're at a seafood restaurant lol.

They look huge!! Definitely way more than my tiny tanks can handle. Haha.
