ya... they're just disgustingly ugly when their huge.

the Shedd Aquarium in downtown Chicago has a few that are about 12-15" long.

great photo
 
12"-15" ???? holy cow. are we going to start eating them instead of crab???? LOL ! and btw this guy was about 2.5 inches.
 
yeah that little bugger with them black eyes looked pretty evil!!! he want's to RULE ALL REEF TANKS!
 
Nice pic. I am going to have to check out these foot long pods at the Shedd soon! :squigglemouth:
