Is it really? I figured it was just another textbook example of convergent evolution, as that is where I learned about it. I know my comment should have said ‘evolved crab-like bodies’ instead, as they’d still be genetically distinct, and not taxonomically true crabs. Now I feel like I have to read up on what the exact nature of the debate is.
