Just in time for All Hallow\u2019s Eve here\u2019s a line-up of the ocean\u2019s most festive Halloween animals! Check them out in all their ghastly horror, they\u2019ve been waiting all year to get some haunting attention.<\/p>\n

Halloween Crab (Gecarinus quadratus<\/em>)<\/u><\/p>\n

This list certainly could not begin without the arthropod waiting all year for its time to Trick and Treat. The Trick?<\/em> Halloween crabs are not as beachy as you might think. They spend most of their lives in mangroves and rainforests along the Pacific coast of Mexico down to Panama. Since they have a planktonic larval stage, they only head to the ocean to spawn.
