Both crabs and Spiders are arthropods. Like all arthropods, they are invertebrates. They both have exoskeletons and jointed legs.

They both have joint legs. Both have more than 4 legs. They both do not have backbones.

Spiders and crabs belong to the same taxonomic phylum, Arthropoda and share their characterstics, among which are, segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.
