understand that lobsters walk straight. It’s the crabs that walk sideways.
With this knowledge in mind lobsters are to be considered
as good guys and crabs as those who tend to bend the law.
Which direction starfish may walk is still questionable.

*understand that lobsters walk straight*
Usually they walk backward, with their claws raised in defiance, when they are facing their prey.
Lobsters can swim both forward and backwards, by flicking their tail.
Both crab & lobster can use autotonomy; I think sea stars do too.
I haven’t seen lobsters walk but crawfish walk backwards and they look a lot like lobsters.
