Check the last pair of legs on both. Females actually have two little claws that act like a hand on the last pair. This helps them to tend to the eggs under the swimmerettes. Bigger males have bigger underfins, but the swimmerettes on a female will cover the entire tail section. Male lobsters only have the one sharp claw on the end of the last pair.
