Squee Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 I read an article about deep sea creatures a couple of days ago and some of these fish freak me out. The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is the largest known arthropod; fully grown it can reach a leg span of almost 4 m (13 ft), a body size of up to 37 cm (15 inches) and a weight of up to 20 kg (44 lb). Giant Tube Worms live over a mile deep and up to several miles deep on the floor of the Pacific Ocean near black smokers and can tolerate extremely high temperatures and sulfur levels. They can reach a length of 2.4 m (7 ft 10 in). Colossendeis - A giant deep-sea spider, nearly a foot across, is an impressive sight indeed. These animals make up for the small size of their bodies by accomodating vital organs such as gonads in their long legs. They feed upon corals and other sessile organisms, sucking up their contents through their enormous proboscis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneToThirtySix Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Gross. Cool, but still gross. Also, sorry about calling the mandarin a goby, I forgot it isn't technically a goby until I read the wikipedia article to find out their main food source (which I did remember is the main reason most people can't keep them alive for very long), which is copepods.
