Introduction to Edible Zodiac Crab

It is most commonly found in the sand and algal beds of the subtidal zone, and a large number of young crabs can be found in the intertidal zone. It mainly feeds on mussels, as well as small crustaceans and small fish. This crab has a thick carapace. The edges of the carapace are wrinkled, and like the skin of a pie, like other crabs, eating the carapace of the zodiac crab also protects the internal organs. Eating zodiac crabs feed on living animals and their remains, and they can pry open shells with stout claws. Adult crabs live in deep water, but because their carapace is too heavy to swim, they can only walk sideways on the sea floor, and they mainly rely on their sense of smell and touch to find food. Edible crabs of the zodiac lay 3 million eggs a year. Like most other crabs, their larvae initially float in plankton communities near the surface of the water
