During spring brake

During spring brake I will probably go fishing. I hope we catch some kind of crustacean. We will see lots of  barnacles, those are crustaceans. Or some crabs. We will use shrimp we  catch with a net for bait. Also we can catch some fish. That would be cool.

King crabs

King crabs are really big and tasty.  They are really spiky and hard to break open. They taste best with butter. I have cut myself before trying to eat them. It is fun to watch them walk around.They have a lot of meat in them too. But it tastes more fishy than most.

Barnacles (Crustaceans)

Barnacles are really ugly. On whales they grow on them like pimples. They live in permanent shells that open when feeding and close for holding water. They can also be parasites that harm. They are really nasty and crusty. I would hate to have a barnacle on me. But I do like how they eat.

Dino-Crab - Megaxantho

Recently, paleontologists discovered the fossil of an especially giant-clawed crab of the aptly named Megaxantho family, which lived during the late Cretaceous period alongside the last of the dinosaurs. What's interesting about this crab,besides its enormous size, is the prominent tooth-shaped structure on its giant claw, which it used to pry prehistoric snails out of their shells. Also, this species of Megaxantho lived 20 million years earlier than paleontologists had previously thought, which may prompt some rewriting of the "crustaceans" section of biology textbooks. I think this crab is really cool. It is huge and had a giant body. The crab probably ate a lot. Mainly snails.

Ghost Shrimp

Today I am writing about ghost shrimp. I have four of them in my fish tank. They clean really well. Its kind if nasty though because they eat the poo like spaghetti. But it makes the tank look good. They also are see-through so you can see their organs. I like watching them swim around. I think one of mine is pregnant too.

Mantis shrimp

Last night I was watching a documentary about mantis shrimp. They are really cool and look like they are a mix of  Preying mantis and Lobster looking thing there is also a special species that has arms that can punch and crush crab and snail shells. They are also very territorial and live in burrows under the water. They will fight others of their species and kill the. They also have sex just like humans. Its really nasty and I cant believe that they showed that on TV. Finally they have spikes in their arms so that if they wanted to stab you while punching you they can.

Sea Spiders

Sea spiders are really ugly. They are also a part of the crustacean family. They have long legs and look like anorexic crabs. They grow huge and get legs that are like daddy long legs. I like how they eat too, though it is kinda scary. I hope I never see one in person I would freak. But I probably will never go scuba diving.
