The '
Half-Blood Prince'
Bloomsbury Countdown Calendar has been updated with some information on firecrabs.
The information pops up if you click on April 7th.

Firecrab
Despite its name, the firecrab greatly resembles a large tortoise with a heavily jewelled shell. In its native Fiji, a stretch of land has been turned into a reservation for its protection, not only against Muggles, who might be tempted by its valuable shell, but also against unscrupulous wizards who use the shells as highly prized cauldrons.
The pop-up, if clicked on, will take you to a
Bloomsbury shop where you can purchase, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them', a miniature book written by Rowling, the profits from which go straight to
Comic Relief.
