Osaka, Japan: Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan 2

Seeing these crabs "pose" never fails to crack me up, for some reason they remind a boyband, a band of crabs of sorts?

The Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan has a huge central tank spanning 8 storeys, filled with whale sharks and huge rays, yet along the winding way down, there are these little enclosures with some gems, that are not-to-be-missed either!
