Along with the picture, Fedortsov wrote in Russian, which was translated by Instagram, "Crabs... Still, there is something attractive and repulsive about them. Mother nature did her best."
Since being shared, the picture has amassed over thousands of likes and numerous comments.
"Crazy! Wonder what its bite force is, that's an impressive set of chopper¡¯s!" one user commented. "That's human teeth. Tell me I'm wrong," another user wrote. "Yes, this is an alien from the 'predator'," a third user commented.
"This is a just deformity of the shell. Take a look at different pictures of a crabs shell around front end of the shells and you will see that this crabs front lower shell has split from deformity," another user said.
