I really don't understand the physics of what's going on. How is the pipeline maintaining the lower pressure?

(atmospheric pressure is basically nothing compared to the water pressure). But how is that pipe maintaining that lower pressure?
pressure gradient b/w crab and pipe will propel the matter towards the low pressure. higher the pressure of the surrounding fluid can push matter into a vacuum, but a vacuum cannot attract on its own

the pipe was actually lower pressure, which is how the crab got pushed in
