Macrocheira kaempferi
With the monstrous appearance, they do look scary
But are very docile, quite the contrary
Exoskeleton is pale to bright red
Once in a while, the armour is shed
Wading to the shallow waters, to lay eggs
Balancing on 8 long dangly

The creature looks quite scary. Your poem perfectly describes the basic characterstics of the spider. Good!
