A video clip of a small crab, discovered in the Gulf of Mexico, has gained wide fame on social media platforms, where followers have called it "the cutest in the world".


The video shows the small creature in the palm of a researcher's hand, with its small black eyes on its spiky pink body.


This is the cutest, spikiest, tiniest crab in the world! (Don't quote us on that—it's called hyperbole.)


It was found during an operation in the Gulf of Mexico, which collected samples of mesophotic and deep-sea coral species for lab rearing and propagation.



The video has gone viral on Twitter, with over 10.6 million views so far. Followers have responded to the video with funny comments, with one person writing: “Oh my god what kind? I’m in love,” while another said: “Looks like he just woke up from an incredible nap.”


The crab was found during a scientific mission in the Gulf of Mexico last summer, which aimed to support the restoration of seabed communities in the central Gulf, which were damaged by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The crab is believed to be a Neolithodes agassizii, a small species of king crab that typically lives at depths of up to 1,900 metres in the ocean.


While this species of crab can grow up to 12cm long, the crab captured on video appears much smaller.


This is not the first time a sea creature has made headlines. In 2021, marine scientists discovered a yellow sea sponge and a pink starfish hanging out together in the sea. In 2019, a starfish resembling Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants went viral on social media, adding a humorous touch to nature photos.
