The crab looks like your basic rock crab... at least thats what they call em up here. They get to be enormous-commonly about 8-9" around the torso.

Hey we have those here in the coast of Texas! I do know what they are called for several presentations given to us for youth groups. It is called a Spider Crab and yes they do get very large. Good find!
