Best Answer

Crabs do have sensory hairs in many locations on their body but the characterization as a "covering" would be dubious, since the bulk of the surface area would be locally flat and shell-like chitin. There are creatures called yeti crabs (or yeti lobsters) with a very hairy or furry appearance on the forelegs and claws, but these may not be considered true crabs.
