Many crabs are able to live on land and under water and this, according to muslim friends make them non halal.They are not haram either, but muslims prefer not to eat them.
Some varieties of crabs live entirely in the sea. These are halal.

From seafood, only fish is made Halaal for us. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) said, Two carions are made Halaal for us; Fish and locust.
(Mishkaat vol.2 pg.361). Fish is classified as a Vertebra. Crabs and
lobsters are not vertebras but they belong to the Crustaece group, hence,
not permissible.

It really depends on the school of thought, as the Hanafi scholars have expressly prohibited the meat of all seafood except fish, while the others (followers of Imam Shafi, etc) have permitted those crabs and other seafood that live entirely in the sea, and do not venture on land.
