Has anyone seen the news today re the giant water spiders i only seem to catch the pictures and not the size! does anyone know how large they are? They look fantastic but so many marine things do. all i seem to hear is that they are a new discovery. and very large, yet one more fantastic creature on our planet it is such a change to hear of a new species instead of speices that are under threat of dying out.

They look more like Cnidaria (jellyfish)to me too
Although actual sea spiders are called pycnogonids (more closely related to spiders than crustaceans or other marine invertebrates - a long lost watery cousin!)
They look pretty crazy too, and I think they get especially big in the Arctic:
