The crab was cap- tured in the daytime and placed in a large tank containing specimens of fish , nothing peculiar except its immense - mense size being noticeable in the broad glare of the tropical sun. At night , however , when all was pitchy darkness , the crab lit ] up the tank so that the other creatures in it could be plainly seen. Whole Alphabet Here.
