is this where we talk about crabs & non-mantis shrimp?

A forum about other animals which lack a backbone such as sponges, hydroids, worms, snails, clams, sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and sea squirts or tunicates.

It doesn't mention shrimp and crabs, so I'm not sure.

It is kind of confusing for noobs, perhaps it should be reworded?

Well crabs and shrimp do lack backbones so why not?

because it says OTHER animals, and since shrimp and crab are so popular, I figured they would be listed in the description, and since they were not I figured they were discussed in another forum, especially since the mantis shrimp has its very own forum, which is odd since its definitely not a reef aquarium inhabitant.

Just saying it wouldn't hurt to add shrimp and crabs to the description:
