The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is the largest known arthropod; fully grown it can reach a leg span of almost 4 m (13 ft), a body size of up to 37 cm (15 inches) and a weight of up to 20 kg (44 lb). The crab's natural habitat is on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean (some 300 to 400 m deep) around Japan, where it feeds on dead animals and shellfish. It is believed to have a life expectancy of up to 100 years.

I saw a model in a museum a few years back and that was about two and a half times as big as the crab in the video

That is amazing. I saw a giant spider crab in the museum up in Manchester, it was from the UK. I saw a smallish one down in Devon too, alive on the beach.
