What kind of animal is this (a species of crab, probably from the North Sea)?
We returned from our North Sea vacation yesterday, and today I wanted to clean the mussels I'd collected, as I'd brought quite a bit of sand with me. As I was about to continue after a break, this creature crawled on the edge of the bucket. It has small claws and can walk backwards. However, I haven't seen anything similar anywhere, and I don't want to just crush the little thing. Does anyone know how to breed such creatures, or how to calculate their water content, or even what kind of creature it is? 😂

A pseudoscorpion – they can also run backwards and forwards:

Really! Thank you :
Please!
It's not a crab, it's a book scorpion.
I honestly can't see what happened… but see if it doesn't fall. The book scorpion is not a species of crab.
Bookscorpion?
