Gang, meet the 'boxer crab'.
It is named that way because it has anemones on each pincer and I guess it reminded someone of boxing gloves.

For anyone old enough to remember the old Rowan and Martin or "Laugh-In" shows, how about the

MAAAAAAKE-UP crab?

For those NOT old enough, I have to explain. Whenever a skit would be totally going pear-shaped and no one would be laughing, someone would yell "MAAAAAAKE-UP" and this HUGE powder-puff, the size of a normal trash-can lid, on a stick would suddenly come flying in from off-set and whallop someone in the face. That was always sure to get a laugh....
 
So, Drunkinbda, you were about to tell me how you got those cheerleader crabs in Bermuda last summer...

stole your line. : )
