This is how it could look
Industrious scene: giant Japanese spider crab (world's largest crustacean, leg span up to 3.7 metres) doing something remarkably civilised: sorting through pile of ocean debris drifted to deep sea floor. Pile containing mix of natural and artificial items: shells, coral fragments, sunken wooden crate, piece of old rope. Crab using enormous long legs to carefully sort items into neat piles: shells in one pile, coral fragments in another. Found something interesting — old brass navigational instrument — examining it closely with stalked eyes.
