It also equates 1 bit to 1 logic gate, which I’m not sure it’s possible to create memory using that few gates unless it’s read-only. All memory cell circuits I know of require at least 2 logic gates.

DRAM needs 1 transistor per cell, but it loses stored data quickly, and a crab-based computer would probably be too slow to update it.

  Ah right. DRAM also requires a capacitor instead though, and I don’t know how you’d represent that with crabs. Maybe it’s possible.
