Yes they do.

And mating occurs when the female mud crab is in the soft-bodied condition following moulting. Female mud crabs in Australian populations migrate offshore to spawn and are rarely seen. 2 to 8 million eggs are produced in each spawning. Female crabs incubate the eggs for 2 to 4 weeks under their abdominal flap. For more information on the cycle of the Mudcrab

the male makes a sperm packet and places it on the female's belly. The female place's her eggs in the sperm to allow them to fertilize.

Yes, crabs do lay eggs. When female crabs are ready to hatch their eggs, they scurry to the ocean water and release their eggs.

Crayfish reproduce by eggs. The females are said to be "in berry" while they are carrying their egg masses.
