Crabs lay eggs in the shallow waters. It is difficult to see them when they do, because crabs need to molt their shells to breed and so tend to go into hiding until their new shells harden. Also crabs usually carry their eggs around for only a short period before casting them adrift into the currents where they hatch and the "baby crabs" live amongst the plankton for a while. During this time they look more like barely visible prawns. The tides eventually bring them back to shore, where they will molt their shells and change into "proper" baby crabs to spend the rest of their lives amongst the rocks and seaweed.

The lobster is an arthropod animal (There are 4 major classes of anthropoids: insects, arachnids, myriapodas, and crustaceans). Its sexual reproduction is by an external fertilization and development through water. But what does this mean?

When this animals, do what is known as "external fertilization and development" the male ejects the sperm to the water and the female externally fertilize her eggs, forming various eggs or zygotes. Later on, the female lobster carries its eggs attached to the spinnerets (a structure beneath their abdomen) and the male protects her.

Do crayfish breed?

Yes they do. And mating occurs when the female mud crab is in the soft-bodied condition following moulting.
