So we all know how cheap and money-loving Mr. Krabs is. But what if, perhaps, all crabs (or almost all crabs) are as money-loving as he is?

Throughout the series, we don't really see many other crabs besides relatives of his. But when we do, they're usually portrayed as equally cheap as Mr. Krabs is. Here's some episodes that support this theory

Clams
Mr. Krabs specifically states that "every crabs' goal in life is to make a million dollars". This isn't much evidence at all, considering many people would love to have a million dollars, but Mr. Krabs specifically mentions it's the goal of every crab, not every "business owner" or anything like that

SpongeBob B.C. (Ugh)
Not much to be said here really, besides the fact that the only word that the prehistoric crabs could say was "money"

Grandpappy The Pirate
He's not shown to be cheap or anything, but he's definitely shown to love money towards the end, when he steals a lot of the money Mr. Krabs has

Kracked Krabs
This is the main episode that started this theory. Every crab shown in this episode appears to be equally as cheap as Mr. Krabs is, and there's even a "Cheapest Crab" award. As well as that, every crab there appears to be disgusted by the idea of raises, profit sharing, and being generous

Squidville
Yes, this is an episode that doesn't involve Mr. Krabs, so it's not really evidence at all. But it's interesting to note that in this episode, it's shown that many octopi seem to have similar personalities and interests to Squidward, hinting that's what all, or most octopi, are like. Perhaps the same thing could be said for crabs too?


The one thing that could possibly debunk this theory is Mr. Krabs's own mother, Betsy. She's never really been shown to be money-loving or cheap
 
Also in the episode I'm with stupid, we learned that other starfish are stupid too. (plus to your Squidville theory)
 
Of course, just like most octopuses or all are full of themselves. (See Squidville, Smooth Jazz in Bikini Bottom, etc.)
 
Liam-
I'm detecting much win in this theory. I won't doubt it, even for a millisecond, just because it's perfect, just perfect. Similar to that all octopi, like Squidward, have the same tastes (the finer things, clarinets, etc.), and that all starfish are just as dim as Patrick is.
 
So far I've seen only one crab who didn't show any sign of being cheap, but it's not that important...
 
Yeah, just like a group, for example: Spongebob-Lover Group, the member have similiar personality with another members, loving the show
 
Many of the main personality traits of the characters are inspired by their respective animals. Steve Hillenburg was actually VERY smart when he designed these characters.

Sponges don't have muscles or bones, therefore they're spineless. They're also soft. This translated to Spongebob being a somewhat wimpy pushover of a character, and also a very cuddly character.

Starfish don't have brains, they can regenerate lost limbs, and they're actually pretty strong. So Patrick is an idiot, but also pretty tough.

Octopi are extremely intelligent. They also like to collect objects and arrange them. So Squidward is a pretentiously cultured aesthete who is fond of the arts, and gardening.

Crabs, like octopi, like to collect and hoard shiny objects. It's very obvious where his love of money comes from. Crabs are also very tough animals, and somewhat scary. So Crabs is a war veteran and a respected bada$$.
