There are many classes of Crustacea. Crabs belong to the malacostracan class.

Limulus belongs to the class Merostomata, commonly known as horseshoe crabs.
Pagurus Armatus(this is only one species of hermit crab) Coenobita is a Genus that contains about 13 species of land hermit crabs. Of the subphylum - Crustacea, class - Malocostraca and order - Decopoda
The seven level classification for hermit crabs is: Kingdom - Animalia, Phylum - Arthropoda, Subphylum - Crustacea, Class - Malacostraca, Order - Decapoda, Family - Paguridae (or other families within the superfamily Paguroidea), Genus - Various genera within the family.
No, crabs are not chordates. They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, which includes insects, arachnids, and other crustaceans. Chordates, on the other hand, are part of the phylum Chordata and possess a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, and other defining features at some stage of their development. Crabs lack these characteristics, placing them in a different biological classification.
Arthropods belong to a major classification in taxonomy, characterized by joint appendages, external skeletons, and segmented bodies. They include arachnids, sea Spiders, horseshoe crabs, myriapods (like millipedes), and crustaceans like true crabs, shrimp, and lobsters. They also include all the insects.
Some types of crabs I know of are fiddler crabs, hermit crabs and horseshoe crabs.
There are various types of crabs, including blue crabs, Dungeness crabs, snow crabs, king crabs, and spider crabs. These crabs vary in size, color, habitat, and taste, offering a diverse range of options for seafood enthusiasts.
Starfish and crabs are both marine animals, but they belong to different biological groups; starfish are echinoderms, while crabs are crustaceans. Both have adapted to life in various ocean environments and play important roles in their ecosystems as predators and scavengers. Additionally, they exhibit fascinating behaviors, such as regeneration in starfish and the ability of crabs to communicate through chemical signals. Despite their differences in structure and classification, both rely on their surroundings for food and shelter.
Valve means shell. A snail is a univalve because it only has one shell. Crabs are not considered bivalves. The bivalves are a group of mollusks which includes clam, mussels, and oysters, all of which have two shells enclosing the animal, hence their classification as bivalves.
Mostly asian shore crabs, Mud crabs,Rock crabs, Donut Crabs and Spider Crabs. I believe there are no freshwater varieties.
rock crabs are type of crabs.
