The Japanese Spider Crab. They can grow to 4 meters and live in the Pacific Ocean. It has a hard, spikey shell, and has the longest leg span. They obviously have claws and they normally roam around the bottom of the ocean floor. They have been known to eat small sea animals, and have been seen eating mollusk

The largest, reaching a length of nearly 50 feet, is believed to be the colossal squid, Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, which is not only the largest mollusc but also the largest invertebrate. It also possesses the largest eyes in the animal kingdom, perhaps over a foot in diameter, or about the size of a dinner plate!

Water fleas are the smallest crustaceans in the world. Don't let the name fool you, these animals are crustaceans, not fleas. They can be as tiny as 0.2 millimeters.
