More About Crabs ...

Crabs are various species of decapods. They are crustaceans with five pairs of legs, the first pair modified to form a pair of pincers, a flattish shell, and a short, broad abdomen folded under its thorax. There are two main groups of crabs: the Brachyura or true crabs, and the Paguroidea, or hermit crabs. Crabs are related to lobsters and shrimps.
Groups of crabs include:
Blue crab
Dungeness crab
Coconut crab
Fiddler crab
