Message: <blockquote data-quote="D.shan" data-source="post: 18351379" data-attributes="member: 378369"> <img src="http://cdn.grindtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/crab-from-blue-reef-Aquarium-Portsmouth-FB-page.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> An incredibly huge brown crab was saved  from the dinner table by a fish merchant who thought it would be better  to put the giant-clawed crustacean on display at an aquarium. A fisherman caught the giant crab off the coast of Portsmouth, U.K.,  and when he turned in his catch, a staff member at Viviers fish  merchants asked the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Blue-Reef-Aquarium-Portsmouth/177293768971171?sk=timeline" target="_blank">Blue Reef Aquarium Portsmouth</a> if it wanted to save the unusually large sea creature. The aquarium readily accepted the brown crab dubbed Crabzilla <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3076616/The-return-crabzilla-Huge-crustacean-weighing-4kg-caught-English-Channel-claws-big-crush-man-s-wrist.html" target="_blank">by the Daily Mail </a>and plans to put it on public display. “For an edible crab he is pretty sizeable,” Rob Davidson of the Blue Reef Aquarium <a href="http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/video-massive-crab-at-portsmouth-aquarium-1-6745089" target="_blank">told The News in Portsmouth</a>. “They can actually get a tiny bit bigger than this, according to most records, but I have never seen one this large.” <img src="http://cdn.grindtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/blue-reef-aquarium-portsmouth.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The 10-year-old brown crab weighs over  nine pounds and stretches an impressive 21.6 inches from claw to claw.  Most extraordinary are the massive claws that are said to have the  crushing strength of over 90 pounds per square inch compared to the  average human hand of 25 pounds per square inch. The claws are used to crush and tear open prey, including a variety of shellfish such as mussels. “You wouldn’t want to dip your toe in any rock pool this crab was  in,” Martyn Chandler told the Daily Mail. “He’s a fantastic-looking  specimen with an awesome set of fist-sized claws. <img src="http://cdn.grindtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/crab-comparison-.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “It is clear that he has been around  for a long time and it would be a shame for such an impressive-looking  crab to end up as someone’s lunch.” Instead, once the aquarium finds a tank that is big enough to house  the crab—nicknamed The Beast and Popeye by aquarium staff—the public  will be able to check it out. “He will definitely prove a hit with the visitors,” Davidson told The  News. “It would be nice to see him on display as soon as possible.” </blockquote>
