They needn't be related to Sligs. There's plenty of examples of convergent evolution to show that similar features need not be evolutionarily related.
On the other hand, Paramites and Scrabs were originally named 'Arachnid Jr' and 'Arachnid Sr'. I've wondered if those were only placeholder names or if there was a plan to have one be the larval form of the other. You could sortof see the Scrab's beak as being merged together tentacles. Sortof.
