Hermit crab crab has several long spines, a long, narrow abdomen, and large fringed antennae. Several zoeal moults are followed by the final larval stage, the megalopa. Hermit crabs are often seen as a "throwaway pet" that would live only a few months, but species such as "Coenobita clypeatus" have a 23-year lifespan if properly treated, and some have lived longer than 32 years.

However, the relationship of king crabs to the rest of Paguroidea is a highly contentious topic. Many studies based
Coastal peacock spider Coastal peacock spider Maratus speciosus, sometimes called the coastal peacock spider, is an Australian species of jumping spider (family Salticidae).
