Crab Flash Mob - DEFUNCT
 |
A cast of spider crabs covering an area of 500m² and 1m high is congregating in the waters near Melbourne as of 26 May 2005. Yes, cast is the proper term of venery just as pride is for lions or unkindness is for ravens. Feel free to use it in your next Yo Mama joke.
Allegedly the cast is on it’s wane, so if you don’t manage to get your flippers on in time you can wait for the videos to be posted.
No do I bring you guys the best tour spots ever? Take that, rival travel site! We’ll show you who has crabs!
Note that the coordinates are just a vague estimate. I’d ask a local if I were you. All I really know is that they’re in 4m of water close to a beach.

| Wheelchair Access | Not unless you can SCUBA, or maybe snorkel. |
| Potential Hazards | Since this would involve diving, it is suggested you get certified first. The crabs are harmless to humans, but I'm sure they may have attracted attention from other not-so-friendly animals. |
