Crab planning escape?

Went to feed the tank this morning and there sitting on the floating feeder is a crab. Now this feeder is attatched to thw side of the tank by a suction cup at the end of a 4" thin plastic stick. Not close to walls or rock. How did it get there?? Can crabs swim??

I have crabs that climb to the top of the tank via the silicone in the corner. I have nerite snails that are forever climbing out of the tank and I find them under furniture after that cats have batted them around for a while.

At least my fish stay in the water
