A Giant Crab Spotted at Koshienhama While Running!
I came across it while running at Koshienhama around sunset.
It’s huge! Maybe a blue swimming crab?
I’m not sure what species it is, but it’s definitely big.

Finally
Apparently, a crab sometimes called the “phantom crab” because so few are caught nationwide was once found at Koshienhama. It seems a specimen is on display at the city shellfish museum. I’d love to see it!
