"braxiura" (I prefer the 'x' since it's from a Greek chi) is perfectly valid. 
jbofi'e seems to think it's a lujvo (it translates it as "being big ??(s)"), 
but it's not.

I think the set of people who know the scientific name of crabs is much 
smaller than the set of people who know the Spanish or Arabic name.
