Real-world information[edit]
The snow crab is a crustacean native to shelf depths in the northwest Atlantic Ocean and north Pacific Ocean. They eat other invertebrates in the bottom of the sea, such as other crustaceans, bivalves (mollusks), and polychaetes (worms), as well as fish and, in times, themselves. They can grow up to 16.5 cm for males and 9.5 cm for females.
