Crabs in with crawfish??

So I'm boiling crawfish tomorrow but one of my guests is bringing a box of crabs.
My question is, can I just throw some crabs in with the crawfish or do they need some extra time or attention? I've got a few pots going at a time and I've got my timing down already. If crabs require different timing, It might just probably just easier for me to add another separate crab pot. However, if they just need the same timing as the crawfish, I just just throw them with the rest of my boil and call it a day.
Anyone?
(and thanks)

I tend to make the seasoning extra spice for the crabs so they soak up the seasoning. Cook times should be similar, but I box of crabs will fill a pot, just cook them seperate.

Throw them in all together and call it a day.

He's being sarcastic.
Crabs require a rolling boil time of 10-13 minutes.

A box of crabs is 70 lbs you can barely fit that in an quart basket. You'll have to a batch by themselves. I boil crabs 6 minutes, depending how full they are you may have to really spice up the water.
Also make sure your crabs are cold before dropping them in boiling water or they will drop their legs.
