How strong are crabs and what is the strongest thing you have seen them do?

Pinky lifted the whole aquarium hood, not just the lid! :shock: Even I have trouble lifting it

Back when I had my crabs in a 20gallon, Godzilla lifted the makeshift cardboard lid that had a jar of coins on it!! I found him on the other side of the room the next morning. He had a little midnight adventure.
