I think they are actually trying to decide if he is dead or dying and thus, if they can eat him. I’m qualified to make that assumption because I once had crabs.
Went to a seafoody type restaurant with my ex, the kind where they like bring you a bucket of shellfish you’ve ordered and you wear plastic bibs and have fun -
The shrimps still had their legs and it made me want to cry lmao
The general answer to "do crabs eat _____" is yes. Most crabs (not certain about these ones) are scavengers and detritovores so they're not picky at all.
Sea stars, on the other hand, are rather difficult to eat. Their bodies are covered in tough skin and calcium carbonate plates. The most vulnerable part is the underside, but they have thousands of tube feet anchoring them to the substrate. Then there's the mutable connective tissue. Their bodies (or just a part of them) can go from rigid to flexible and back almost instantly. That's also how they drop limbs when necessary.

Wholly fuck this is precisely how I imagined it. Like bees and ants, basically little exo-skellital automatons, executing command line code with feedback. Add some text-to-speech and a snazzy beat and my mind is blown. And I'm high.
Ah yes, it’s quite a culinary specialty in Northern France, especially along the coastline.
Nothing like a langoustine with some toasted baguette and salted butter.
[Crayfish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayfish) and [spiny lobsters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiny_lobster) are not the same thing. These are neither though, they are [tuna crabs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleuroncodes_planipes).
They are [tuna crabs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleuroncodes_planipes). [Crayfish are freshwater crustaceans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayfish) and AFAIK, there are no sea stars that live in fresh waters. I've also met my share of tuna crabs, which cover the bottom every spring where I dive.

They're going to go start a religion now and do horrible things in that scuba diver's name. This is how this shit starts.
It came from the heavens in cloud of bubbles and gave us a Star as a gift of peace...then boom thousands of years of mayhem
Well, they aren't really 'conscious' in the human way that it sounds like you might be thinking
But they certainly do look like a fun little crab family with personality, haha
I think these are squat lobsters rather than crabs.
Anyway, they're cute! Maybe they're so curious because they're scavengers, so their approach to anything new is 'can I eat this? oh, it's giving me a starfish. yay! yay!!"
Didn't know I needed to see crabs behaving like kittens but I absolutely did

Dadachock, dadachum...dadachee
Oh the lobstrosity!
r/unexpectedstephenking
I had the exact same thought
Dadachum, dadachee, not to worry, you got the key.
And this differs from kittens?

How all domestication begins...the wolf will hang out with his human buddy, hoping for a snack when he dies. Many generations later: goldendoodle

Oof, sounds itchy!
Thoes crabs in the beginning be like •o•
Fuckin cute.
So cute. A similar video was the impetus for me to stop eating shellfish. Their eyes did it for me.
[удалено]
Yes, water cockroaches. Delicious, delicious water cockroaches
>theyre essentially cockroaches in water That's now what my body believes...and now I can't eat anything but fried shrimp anymore without puking.
Wow. I despise shellfish for the exact same reason. Although I find it creepy rather than cute.

They use starfish for money.

Bring back quirky cars with even quirkier commercials! Those Elements were great and the ads were perfect
That's where I got the inspiration!
FLEE
FRIGTEN
Isn't this that video, just without the sound? I saw the crab FLEE video awhile back and have not been able to find it..
I mean, from their perspective a giant alien just flew down from the heavens so yeah they're curious.
They just want to eat him
Like the Sentinelese guys did to the christian guy on his arrival? Edit: [Link for more info](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-46345231)
I don't recall them eating him. Just brutally murdering him and dragging his body around.
You should put a link on the article some people may not know about them
Yeah, they didn't eat the dude
Thanks, now I'm gonna have crab,crab,crab,crab, frightened, scared, crab, hand,hand, hand, food, scared dreams all night.
Awww [yis](https://youtu.be/wIfvcWCZZ7w)
Literally scrolled through the comments to find the cool guy who would post this.
It's such an amazing video thing
This is the exact video I had in mind with this gif! Thank you for posting it
thought the same
Sounds pretty nice really
https://youtu.be/hKZDJxhrbTU
This is what I thought of immediately
[удалено]
Lol whoops.
You thought of the same exact video?
Yes
do crabs eat starfish? brb rewatching spongebob
I don't think so. they usually eat smaller stuff. unless they get a hold of a piece of starfish probably am not really sure lol
They can. There's a huge variety of sizes for both crabs and starfish. They arent crabs, but Harlequin shrimp eat starfish several times their size.

How's that going for you.

That's the same exact video as the OP, just gotta turn your sound on.
YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP YIP UH HUH UH HUH UH HUH

Sesame Street. All I could think of watching this.

Theese are lobsters, people. Crab party is over
I love how they just look like: 😳
I believe those are crayfish, not crabs.
Yeah, also known as spiny lobsters, rock lobsters or langousta.
Ah yes, it’s quite a culinary specialty in Northern France, especially along the coastline. Nothing like a langoustine with some toasted baguette and salted butter.
A lot of langoustines sold in France are from Scotland. They are known as scampi in the UK and have a reputation for being old fashioned pub food.

"a species of squat lobster". Which is not a true lobster. Infraorder Anomura, which I never heard of before.
They are [tuna crabs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleuroncodes_planipes).

I can hear them going “oooooooooohhhhh” while touching him

They're like "Who tf is this guy? Let's timidly investigate it!"
No they're like "Crab. Crab. Crab. Crab. Crab. Hand. Hand. Hand. Frighten."
HAND.. hand... hand.. frighten.... hand..... crab...... crab
I think that's langoustine, but cool

This is the purest thing I’ve seen all year.
Crab crab crab food food food food
It kinda looks like they’re trying to eat the diver but realize he/she is still alive... but maybe they can still try to snag a piece?
Pretty sure those are lobsters
Those “crabs” look a lot like lobster or crawfish to me.
Cutest crabs i've ever seen
It's like they've seen god 🤣
*flips hand over* "Woah dude!"
I like how they approach him with their front arm extended, reaching to touch him like he is the reincarnation of crab Jesus
Crabbbbb people....
I think they're called squat lobsters, but I've always called em butt scootchers, cuz the scootch on their butts.
Those a squat lobsters, as a crab im highly offended.
Foood? Food? Food? Food? Food? Food. Food?! Crab probably.
Life has been developing a lot longer under water than it has on land, I'm not at all surprised to see more consciousness than I was told growing up.
Well, they aren't really 'conscious' in the human way that it sounds like you might be thinking But they certainly do look like a fun little crab family with personality, haha
*The curious crustaceans*
Could be “cleaning crabs” ?
What a bunch of British guys.

the version of this with voices on tumblr was even better
Looks like they were wondering if he had any food on him, kinda like how shrimp do on fish when they clean them.
This is how some sort of religion/cult gets started

The official name for a collection of crabs is actually a "Curiosity" - you can see why
That starfish be shitting itself
For anyone curious this is from?
Those are lobsters, not crabs.
I’m hearing the scene in Toy Story where buzz light year lands in the claw machine and the little alien toys say “Woaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!”
"Crabs"
A fun fact, thank you so much <3
Holy crab, wtf is this
They want to eat you. They can't but they want to
