I don't think killing the Snow Crabs are counting towards the Rock Crab Monster Eradication goal. I checked, and I had 59/60 before going into the mines and killing a snow crab, but after killing it no pop-up notification appeared, and looking at the board in the Adventurer's Guild says it's still at 59/60. However, killing a Lava Crab put me to 60/60 and triggered the pop-up notification.
I didn't explicitly try to make it either count or not count, but yeah, I noticed that myself a while back. I intend to make it count by default in the next version, especially since it slows down other goals a bit (it replaces a few monsters with snow crabs, similar to what base game does with rock/lava crabs).
Okay, starting in 1.3.0, it should count by default.
Technical details: * Unlike other config options, this one is attached to the Content Patcher component (as it needs to conditionally patch the goal data). As usual for CP conditions, if you have Generic Mod Config Menu installed, then it can be viewed/changed there. * Based on initial testing, it looks like this will retroactively give you credit for all the snow crabs you've killed since day 1, though if that puts you at 60+ then you probably need to kill one more crab to trigger completion. * This also means that turning off the option should retroactively remove credit for all snow crabs. * I couldn't figure out how to just add "Snow Crab" to the list, so instead it replaces the entire list. This makes it incompatible with any other mod that also patches this list (not that I'm aware of any such mod).

If you're sticking to Stardew 1.5, then use version 1.1.2.

?[CP] Snow Crab because it contains files, but none of them are manifest.json.
