just because they have the name crab in them doesnt mean they are closely related. All the leviathans have leviathan in their name but none of them are closely related. (with the expection of the Sea Dragon and Sea Emperor)

Because the crabsnake is an eel. it could have a distant relationship with the other eels because the other eels are closely realted, or it could just be that the crabsnake isnt closely related and just became an eel because it was the best choice for surivial. Either way, the crabsnake and crabsquid are not close relatives. Infact, the crabsquid shares more similateries with the cave crawler
