Other than humans, clams are eaten by many animals. Seagulls and other sea birds will pick up clams and drop them on rocks to open them. Raccoons will eat clams by either crunching them with their teeth or prying them open with their hands. Sea stars (or star fish) are able to completely cover and pry open clams underwater. There are also some kind of fish that will eat clams. California otters Elephant seals Rays

Crabs are frequently preyed upon by halibut, dogfish, sculpins, octopus, otters, sea turtles, and even other species of crabs. Young crabs may sometimes be eaten by their own species. Crab larvae might be eaten by pretty much anything that eats plankton.

The Alaskan King Crab also has several natural predators that consider them a food source. Fish such as the halibut or pacific cod are good examples of predators as well as sea otters, octopuses and other types of Crab.
