I was going to put him in 'pets' but i thought he deserved better than to be lumped in a boring group of cats and dogs.

sarahaw1981, crabs are Arthropods, this spotting is in the correct category.

At this point I would put it in pets, as it is your pet. A pet is any animal or creature in your care, and this crab is in your care.

This is not an insect and should not be in this category!
