I think you are onto something. Based on the number of legs, I would be looking more towards the arachnaeid family than crabs. To wit, a horseshoe crab is actually a member of the spider family (number of legs and blood serum).

A bar I used to frequent had a sign in the men’s room that read: “Please don’t drop toothpicks into the urinal - our crabs can pole vault”.
Let me guess, "The Sink" in Boulder, CO circa '70s.
To: sasquatch
Your time period is correct - it was called the Fog Cutter, about 25 miles south of Seattle, and has since been bulldozed for a strip mall.
The bar owner was the brother of Charles Starkweather, the spree/serial killer who murdered eleven people accompanied by his 14 year old girlfriend in Nebraska and Wyoming, circa 1956 - he was executed in 1959. We never asked him about Charlie.

"Sea lice are marine ectoparasites (external parasites) that feed on the mucus, epidermal tissue, and blood of host marine fish."
In other words...a Democrat.
Also...an interesting sea creature I found out about while taking a marine biology class...the snapping shrimp. They were small little guys hiding in the NC coastal jetty rocks. You really couldn't appreciate the power of their "snap" until you held one in your hand. Very interesting!

Looks like a raninoida except for they eyes. I wonder if the eyes might have been like hos of a mantis shrimp?

An interesting article about history of the world. A century into
the future would be an interesting read if only it could be done.
The following link is to an article about the development of the
Americas going back many generations before Columbus sailed
the ocean blue. They talk in terms of 30,000 years or longer.
