Despite it not being a true crab, it’s beautiful and crab enough.

The littlest stars bear the biggest surprises

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

This star isn't far away-- it's just very, very small! Parvulastra parvivipara is the smallest known species of starfish, with adults reaching only 1 cm (0.4 in) in diameter. What's even more interesting, the Tasmanian live-beaing sea star is a self-fertilizing hermaphrodite, and juveniles hatch and develop within their parents gonads before being released, making them ovoviviparous.
