These creatures aren't even really crabs, let alone any type of crustacean. Although they may look similar to a crab, they actually belong to the family of Limulidae.
This said, they are much closer to scorpions, spiders, and ticks than they are to any crustacean.

The eggs of horseshoe crabs aren't attended by the parents. Instead, they are simply deposited in the sand by the female as she drags the male along behind her to fertilize the eggs. The male hangs onto the back of the females shell with his claws and is usually about two-thirds the size of the female. Being this much smaller, he provides little resistance as he is dragged around the sand by the egg-depositing female.

Ewwww - spider sex.
That's what I think when I see a large woman with a much smaller man.

I wonder if she might eat him afterwards.

They are harvested for bait, though. Some kind of sea life must love them.
