Guess you could say that this deep-sea crab is a little batty. 🤪🦇⁠ ⁠ ⁠ We're feeling Halloween spirit with this bat-faced crab, Macroregonia macrochira. Also known as deep-sea spider crabs, they are typically found on seafloor lava flows and other hard-bottom areas. They are particularly common around deep-sea hydrothermal vents, where they are one of the main predators, feeding on tubeworms, clams, and other mollusks. | MBARI
