Octopuses are sea animals famous for their rounded bodies, bulging eyes, and eight long arms.
Octopuses, like their cousin, the squid, are often
considered “monsters of the deep,”

If threatened, octopuses shoot an inky fluid that darkens
the water, Crabs are decapod crustaceans which have a very short tail
Crabs are covered with a thick shell, or exoskeleton.
Crabs are armed with a single pair of claws.
There are over 6,793 species of crab spread across the
oceans, fresh water, and even on land. Prawns are crustaceans similar in appearance to shrimps, but they can be distinguished by the gill structure which is branching in prawns and not in shrimp.
The prawn is also related to the crab and the lobster.
Prawns are found in calmer waters.
Prawns lay eggs in the water.
The prawn feeds by filtering nutritious particles out
of the water flowing around the prawn. Turtles that live in the ocean are called sea turtles.
