Okay, let's go with that and see where the rest of your definitions take us.

"Cukla xamsi jukni" would be an arthropod living in a round ocean (as
opposed to those square oceans you see sold in better shops
everywhere).  If you mean "cukla ke xamsi jukni", that would be a
round sea spider.

Lobsters (inserting "ke") are small sea spiders, then?

So when I order a small lobster in a Lojbanistan restaurant, I should
expect to get a shrimp?

So now I get krill instead of either lobsters or shrimp?  I guess they
will have to provide me with a net to dip them out of the water with.

So (inserting "ke") barnacles are sea spiders that don't move?

That turns out not to be the case.
