This Long Legged Spider Crab, (Macropodia rostrata), is not only now larger after its moult, but in particular the size of it's claws have increased dramatically. In the above video it can be seen cutting of pieces of a red seaweed (Chondria dasyphylla) and chewing on them.
After moulting this Long Legged Spider Crab hid away until it's new shell had hardened, it has now resumed it's normal feeding habits.
