	King crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King crabs, also called stone crabs, are a family of crab-like decapod crustaceans chiefly found in cold seas.
		King crabs are generally believed to be derived from hermit crab ancestors, which may explain the asymmetry still found in the adult forms.
		The evidence for this explanation comes from the asymmetry of the king crab's abdomen, which is thought to reflect the asymmetry of hermit crabs, which must fit into a spiral shell.
