My suggestions:
Remove BUTCHERABLE_NONSTANDARD.
Add NOT_BUTCHERABLE to fire crabs.
[NOT_BUTCHERABLE][COOKABLE_LIVE][NOBONES] for vermin crabs.
Tile 15 -> Tile 157 (like for lobsters).
[UNDERSWIM] for everyone (they walk underwater, not swim)
SPEED 1000 for the titanic crab. 1200 is too slow.
Remove FREQUENCY from the titanic crab. 100 is too often. Give him [SPHERE:OCEANS] .

Alright, updated OP with suggestions.  I used tile 15 for ordinary crabs because it looks like a round scuttler.  I thought about separating the Ordinary crab into a couple different species (blue, opilio, king, red, bairdi - thanks Discovery Channel) in the DF tradition of ridiculously comprehensive wildlife, but I don't feel up to it.

looking nice!

Is it possible to have a group of a smaller species track the titan crab?

Build a castle on its shell, have a mobile fortress! ;)

Now what you want is a titan fire crab, whose every step shakes the earth to its core - who glows with the heat of magma, and whose bones are adamantine.

Man, I can so see a castle built on the back of a giant crab, or dwarves killing one and building a town under it's shell Ald-Ruhn style.  Sadly, that'll be way into the future, if ever.

Until then, I added crabmen.  Hooray!  They're dangerous.

I have no idea whether this works or not, but it seemed like a good idea at the time...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(I somehow resisted giving it firebreath. Giving it [ENDING] might be fun.)

Why don't you just give an [SPECIALATTACK_INJECT_EXTRACT:50:100]. [EXTRACT_PARALYZE_INTERMITTENT], [EXTRACT_STUN_INTERMITTENT], and  [EXTRACT PERMANENT] too? You craxy loon!

I don't know about fire crabs. what sort of retarded shell fish (is that what they are?) decides to go for a wander and sets the world on fire? I dislike them. A lot.

No, they're just "crabs" in name only.  They're living boulders that spawn in magma vents like imps.

No, I think the cook would be in charge of sugar-coating the cows.

You are a lifesaver! Round and probably in tropical flavors.

If you're too lazy to copy and paste, what makes you think I'm not too lazy to upload a file somewhere?

Believe me, I'm lazy.
