Rare crab which looks like a pastry caught by fisherman
Local
Caught off the coast of England by Ian Jepson, this super rare crab looks just like a pastry. Looking more like a pastry dish than a crustacean, the crab was nicknamed the ‘sponge-coated crab’ after being caught off the coast of Cornwall.
The crab was safely returned to where it was initially, but the find made the highlight of Jepson’s day. Such weird and fascinating finds are caught every now and then, with this sponge crab being the latest sea marvel.According to Jepson, the crabs carve out pieces of sponge and fit them onto their backs. A spike in sightings have been reported, with the crabs allegedly using it for camouflage or even to cover themselves from heat.
