Snow crab have smaller, shorter legs and the meat is very sweet tasting. These are the kind Red Lobster featured in their all you can eat Crabby Mondays campaign. (My personal favorite.)
King crab are the long legged, lanky ones. They taste somewhat more briny (salty), like the cool clear taste of the Alaskan seas where they are harvested.
There are also soft-shelled, or Blue crabs, found in the mid-Atlantic area (Delaware, Washington) which are cooked and served whole.
I know there are other varieties, but these three are the ones I'm personally acquainted with.
