Is it safe to eat crab legs with black spots?
Yes.
DON'T EAT BAD FOOD! If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, it's probably a duck.
Any food that looks and/or smells bad should be considered suspect.
When in doubt, throw it out!

This is someone else...actually it is pincers you jackass. Just looked all over to find out if its "pincers" or "pinchers"...and its pincers sooo.........
How can you give water to your hermit crab?
There are these tiny little sea sponges you can find in little clear baggies hanging up in the fish/reptile care and supplies section of any Walmart and you just soak them with water and set them in the cage. You can also place the sponge in a small jar lid after you wet it if you don't want all the surrounding sand to get wet. You just replace the sponge every few days when it gets drier.
If a crab were to lose its legs it would probably would not be able to move around and die.

What are the characteristics of the hermit crab?
Besides the use of the shells of other animals hermit crabs have many other adaptations.
Land hermit crabs have developed modified gills that allow them to live on land. They use the humidity in the air to breath and their shell water to lubricate their gills.
Hermit crabs have one small feeding claw and one large defence claw. When retreating into their shell the defence claw seals the opening protecting the hermit crab inside.
The defence claw can also be used in dominance displays towards other crabs. Or to scare off small prey. It has a powerful pinch and a hermit crab will hold on until they feel safe once more.
Because land hermit crabs moult they have the ability to regenerate damaged or missing body parts. Legs, claws, anteni, eyes can all be regrown in one or two moults depending on the health of the animal.
They have a strong sense of smell. they can detect food from distances away. They like to try new foods every day and can remember the smell of a previous meal.
Land hermit crabs have adapted to live in large colonies. The safety in numbers helps defend them against predators. They will also find food together.

But there are also blue crayfish sold in aquarium stores that have been grown to be blue by giving them a feed that lacks red pigment.
