Alright here are some really good sites---

http://www.aqua.org/animals/species/bluecrab.html

http://www.chesapeakebay.net/blue_crab.htm
this one has lots of links to other pages---

http://www.serc.si.edu/education/bluecrab/exhibit/anatomy.htm

THIS SITE HAS THE PICTURES that show the difference in the shells
between the male and the female crabs. It's the difference between a
dome and the Washington monument.

Ok now can everyone remember that???
