In this case, yes!
We were at Central Market in Shoreline (WA, just north of Seattle) on Sunday, doing our weekly shopping. The store had LIVE king crabs, ready to cook. SO and I looked at each other and wondered how the hell you lower one of those suckers into the pot. Answer: VERY CAREFULLY.

King crabs are big, but spider crabs are even bigger. Some varieties attain legspans over ten feet. Imagine wrestling one of those into a pot.
When I was in high school, I worked in a lab that did research on spider crabs. We sometimes needed two or more people to pull them out of a tank and subdue them. After they had made their contributions to science, some of these critters were broken up, boiled in whatever lab glassware was available, and used to feed hungry postdocs and grad students.

They really are hideous. I saw a guy catch one in the SF Bay almost under the GG bridge. It was so ugly the guy almost threw it back, not knowing what it was or what to do with it. It had onlookers backing up and going "eeuuwwww!". A Chinese fellow explained what it was and took it off his hands. The local variety are much smaller, but they decorate their shell with crud and look all deformed and corroded, like something out of a nightmare. I suspect that one in the tank would look even scarier in its natural habitat.
