I have seven and I can tell each one apart by their coloring, eyes, shell, size and personality. Each crab acts a little different and if you really look at them you can definitely tell who is who. I have 2 small crabs, that look pretty much identical except for their personalities. One is super friendly and will treadmill hands for a good 5 minutes before stopping and the other zoops into her shell and doesn't come out for a few minutes, and then is very skiddish. Their names are Myrtle and Marcel Then I have a small one thats a little bigger than those 2, she has her own little personality but her size most of the time gives her away. Her name is Rosie, she's slightly crazy. I have 2 medium (ish) crabs, one is molting right now (Lily) and the other is always super friendly and sweet (Lola). THEN, I have 2 large crabs. Herm and Monti are in different tanks, because Herm is in the ISO tank because that bugger has been showing signs of molting for a few weeks now. They look completely different. Monti is a big baby, he is scared of EVERYTHING and he lies on his back most of the time and Herm is the sweetest crab ever. He's my first adoptee and the crab that started this whole hobby. He oddly likes to cuddle into the crook of your arm (so does Lola). :]
Wow, ramble much... anyway my point was that you can tell by a lot of different things, keep track of shells, sizes, gender, eyes, coloring and also another good thing would to look at their toes and see if they have the black claws or not. Might be able to tell who's who with those sorts of things :]
