hiii here is your answer-

The eight pairs of thoracic legs are typically biramous (two-branched). One or more pairs are modified for feeding in some groups. In free-swimming species all legs are similar in shape, and both branches are slender. In bottom-dwelling species, however, the inner branch has become a stiff walking limb, and the slender multisegmented outer branch is variously reduced (in hemicarideans) or lost altogether (in amphipods and isopods). In advanced, especially bottom-dwelling, malacostracans (such as lobsters), one or more legs are pincerlike.

hope this helps :)
