Here is all the info you want on Stone Crabs.  Yes it is illegal to possess the body of a live or dead stone crab.  You can only harvest the claws.  It is legal to harvest both claws if they are both legal size, but i have never know any good sportsman to do that.     

Stone Crab claws are delicious, cold served with a little of Joes Mustard Sauce for dipping
