Neither. All crabs are crustaceans.

Amphibians are cold-blooded, lay eggs and have an internal skeleton with soft skin.
Crustaceans are cold blooded, lay eggs and have an external skeleton (shell).

It is a chelicerate, like a spider or a scorpion.

No, it is an arthropod and not a true crab. It is more closely related to Spiders than to crabs. It is worth noting that the unique blue blood of the horseshoe crab is farmed (the crabs are treated well) for medical purposes.
