@CONKER17

it takes like 6 hours for it to fully harden

its not a real crab, horseshoe crabs are more like spiders than crabs

[Knightess]

@ogami72 Crabs, spiders, and horseshoe crabs are all arthropods. The horseshoe crab is no more like a spider than it is like a crab. They're all distantly related. ;)

@ogami72 Where'd you hear that? Both real crabs and spiders are arthropods. I've never heard anywhere that they're closer to spiders than crabs.

Amazing, all creatures who have an exoskeleton have to molt, in order to grow. :)
