This morning before I dribbled my fingers on the keyboard, I watched a local documentary about crabs. I thought all types of crab could be consumed. It is also known as the 'toxic reef crab.' The word 'toxic' depicts for itself that a toxin can enter our system and eventually result in death. A typical example is the fish vendor blogger in my country who ate it and died after a few days. Being aware will not kill us, so we should know what kind of crab is being served on the table for us to take.
Are you fond of eating crabs?
Have you seen this kind of crab?

I have never heard of this kind of crab, but I am not surprised.

@Shavkat Yes, I had actually forgotten my username (you can't log in with an email), but wow what a coincidence, I happened to save one of those "someone followed you" emails from 2020 and it had my username in it, and I had memories of passwords from 2016 and such, so I was back on in no time!

I never heard of that type of crab. I eat crab that I buy from a seafood place.
