I'm attractive with bait, Tho you'll regret what you ate. Also Peter's foe, and Smee's boss. Take away my rank, and I'm at a loss.

There once was a little crustacian who stole other's shells without hesitation. 'My friends tell me to stop, to be polite and just swap. But I need them for self-preservation.'

I was, am, and shall be anxious, What am I?

Put water in front of me, and I become a relieving place. Take away my tee, and I invade your personal space. Take away my first and last, and I do not win.

I may sound like a frail tree monster, but in reality, I am what you look forward to after a day of hard work.
