Crab's mouths are either in the middle of their head or just under their shell below their eyestalks. Each species has a slightly different mouth, but the majority have mandibles and maxillae that cover other internal mouthparts.

Crabs do not have teeth in a mouth like humans so. They have teeth like structures inside of their stomach that perform just like human teeth do by grinding and processing food.

Do crabs blink?

To an extent, yes, it depends on the species of crab Dungeoness crabs, and blue crabs (The most common in seafood resturaunts) have bristle like things around the edge of the sockets that brushes the debris from the eyes. Land crabs like Patriot crabs and ghost crabs have foldable "Mouth Hands" that are basically like little windshield wipers. The exeption to the land crabs is the Halloween Crab which have eye mor similar to Dungeoness crabs. Hermit crabs and subsequently crabs with similar front structure like Japanese spider crabs can fold their eyes down and also have "Mouth Hands" although all crabs have a thin, nearly invisible, coat of skin covering their eyes if you wish to see it I suggest looking for molted crab skins on the beach. Hope this helped!
