The Monster Crays Thread

It seems that there is actually some credible scientific evidence that crays/lobsters may be able to live and grow indefinitely due to their genetic makeup, for example they have an abundant and ever replenishing supply of the enzyme telomerase which protects their chromosomes keeping their cells in pristine condition. Moreover they periodically shed their exoskeletons and grow a larger one. To date the record is 44 pounds (20kg) although there does not seem to be anything, other than predators and non age related diseases, stopping them from growing to 440 pounds or more.
