Spider crab
The spider crab is a sea creature you catch while swimming in the sea (dive where you see bubbles). Look for a very large shadow. In the northern hemisphere look for it in Mar – Apr, at any time of day. It can only appear after you have caught 80 sea creatures. Nook's Cranny pays 12,000 Bells.
An X-Large, very fast shadow with just a two-month run, after 80 catches. Dive close and chase it down quickly, as 12,000 Bells is a lot to let swim away.
