Crustacean and crispbread? Maybe (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spider crab

'crustacean' is the definition.
(spider crab is a kind of crustacean)

'crispbread? maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'crispbread' with letters rearranged gives 'SPIDER-CRAB'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for spider crab that I've seen before include "little creature" , "Aquatic creature" , "Crustacean with long thin legs" , "Type of crustacean" , "shellfish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
