Talk:Gecarcinus quadratus

Untitled

This article seems to be confusing two different taxa. I have contacted the author and expect it to be sorted out soon. --Stemonitis 20:29, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I need to know some info about Halloween crabs. There isn't much online about them.

broken link / copying

the "aqualog" external link is broken. In addition, most of the text of this article is copied verbatim from the second external link and isn't even about the Halloween Crab, but rather the Halloween Hermit Crab with which it is "not to be confused." Jasongetsdown 01:02, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

This crab was featured in an album cover

The Prodigy's album, The Fat of the Land, features one of these on the cover. I don't have a citation but looking at the image it's obvious. Should I (or someone else) add something about this? I also said this over at Talk:The Fat of the Land#Crab Species Landfill baby (talk) 17:23, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
