They live in all the world 's oceans , in fresh water , and on land , are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton and have a single pair of claws . Many other animals with similar names -- such as hermit crabs , king crabs , porcelain crabs , horseshoe crabs , and crab lice -- are not true crabs .
