@Cwmhiraeth: Hi, I came by to promote this. Two questions: The source says snails, not molluscs. Do you want to mention (or use in the hook) the common name, "reef box crab"? Yoninah (talk) 13:05, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: As far as I can make out, the whole box crab genus Calappa has crushing claws and similar feeding habits, but #7 which describes the process, is actually describing Calappa japonica. I read elsewhere about the crabs feeding on oysters, which are molluscs, and hermit crabs, which are not but live inside snail shells. We should be safe enough stating snails, which appear to be the main prey, and I have added the common name for the crab. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:28, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
