Love me some "Hoff Crab" so named because of the "hairy" bacteria filaments that cover it's "chest" #marinelife

Scientists name crab after David Hasselhoff because of its hairy belly
The 'Hoff Crab' gained its nickname thanks to its hairy chest, prompting comparisons with the Baywatch star.
@davidhasselhoff.bsky.social - new research shows your namesake #hoffcrab males have oversized claws - perhaps to compete for mates. Perhaps some parrallels with your baywatch colleagues? www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...
