We were diving Ft Wetherill last year when I spotted a crab that looked like a big spider. I picked it up from the backside, not expecting any trouble when I discovered that this things arms were long enough to reach behind and grab a finger.
I thought it was going to take the finger off, it really was hurting. I put the thing back on the bottom which normally causes them to let go. Not this s.o.b., he was really grinding away and trying to get a grip with the other claw.
When he finally decided he'd won the battle and let go he just sat there waving his arms as if saying "come on back, that was fun"
Lesson learned...look before touching!!
