Pubic Crabs, What is this?

I always knew about normal hair lice, but pubic crabs. What are pubic crabs? How does one know they have pubic crabs? What are the symptoms and are they visible or not. How tiny are they, are they like the hair lice that one gets. What happens when you get these crabs? Who can get it and from where. Can a person who bathes daily also get it? Why would someone get pubic lice? What is the treatment, and how long after the treatment does it get removed?
