Not sure if this is the right place to post this..

his legspan was about 20", he was very mellow, and acted like he didn't care that he was being picked up lol

I thought he was, but the only one I've seen around here was able to comfortably sit on the end of my thumb.

He looked a bit like a goblin with that giant nose-thing lol

his attitude suprised me, I'm used to blue crabs; hyper and very agressive.

I have no idea but awesome crab! I once found a gigantic coral crab while fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. I pinched his rear end to pick him up. Huge guy. And nasty. He put up a fight.

throw him in a pot, cook him, then eat him and figure out the name and stuff later.

no, I dont think you want to eat a spider crab. they have really tough shells and not too much meat. its also probably illegal

don't worry, i'm horribly against the way crabs are cooked, and for some reason I think he might taste a bit like mud...
