What is the name of the phobia of crabs and lobsters?

I have arachnophobia (fear of spiders). And I also have a phobia of crabs and lobsters and I’m tired of telling people exactly that. So does anyone know what the actual term is called? Would it be the same thing for both or one for crabs and one for lobsters?
