  1. Crabs don't have eight legs. They are decapod (ten-legged) crustaceans. The front pair of legs is specialized as claws.

    Crabs belong to the subphylum of Crustaceans; spiders belong to the subphylum of Chelicerata. Spiders are more closely related to the horseshoe crab, which is unrelated to all other crabs.


  2. 2 are claws 6 are legs

    they are not arachnids

  3. They are crustaceans and have 10 appendanges. :)
