I can't think of a specific species, but I think the smaller the crustacean, the thinner the shell, because the carapace is quite heavy to haul around for the animal itself and they tend to save on weight if they can. Also, when they shed/molt, the carapace has to harden for some time, and lobsters and crabs are soft and squishy for hours to days afterwards. This also applies to insects and arachnids, btw. This is why they hide during the hardening period.
As a third point, the abdomen of a hermit crab (which really is a lobster) isn't protected at all, that's why they use mollusc shells, so perhaps they qualify for the softest shell! ^^

Why does the grilled lobster stick to the shell?
Grilled lobster can stick to the shell due to a few reasons, including the cooking method and temperature. When lobster is grilled, the high heat can cause the meat to contract and bond to the shell, especially if it’s cooked for too long. Additionally, if the lobster is not properly cleaned or if it has been frozen, the proteins may adhere more firmly to the shell during cooking. Properly cooking and carefully removing the lobster can help minimize this sticking issue.
