The crab was spoiled and irredeemable–as you remain alive, your soul still has possibilities. Trash it, and all possible future joys (and sorrows) go down the drain with it.
Had I been the Octopus, I’d most likely would have tossed it at the keeper.
Hmm, I imagined a much dirtier look in the octopus’s eye. And an angrier toss. But I like the water effects.
Sounds as it you are cutting off your nose to spite your face –
Oh! You don’t have a nose–and now no soul!
I rather like the idea of an octopus wearing a hat!

It turns out that octopus do wear hats! Or more properly, helmets. Sometimes when an octopus has to scurry across open ground (is the ocean floor ground?) it will hold an empty shell over its head for protection.
