After a crab has shed its shell to grow a larger one but before the new shell has hardened, the crab is called "soft shell." In the U.S. the blue crab is the one usually eaten in the soft-shell state.

I don't think there are any.
Unless they have some sort of disease...the crab should have a hard shell!
