Oh, dude, crabs don't blink because they don't have eyelids. They have compound eyes that are constantly moistened by their tear glands, so they don't need to blink like us humans. I mean, imagine a crab trying to wink at you with those beady little eyes, that would be a sight to see!

No, crabs do not blink in the traditional sense like humans do. Crabs have a hard exoskeleton that covers their eyes, which provides protection and support. Instead of blinking, crabs keep their eyes clean by using their antennae to remove debris and maintain their vision.

To an extent, yes, it depends on the species of crab Dungeoness crabs, and blue crabs (The most common in seafood resturaunts) have bristle like things around the edge of the sockets that brushes the debris from the eyes. Land crabs like Patriot crabs and ghost crabs have foldable "Mouth Hands" that are basically like little windshield wipers. The exeption to the land crabs is the Halloween Crab which have eye mor similar to Dungeoness crabs. Hermit crabs and subsequently crabs with similar front structure like Japanese spider crabs can fold their eyes down and also have "Mouth Hands" although all crabs have a thin, nearly invisible, coat of skin covering their eyes if you wish to see it I suggest looking for molted crab skins on the beach. Hope this helped!
