Do you have an anemone? Almost looks like a banded clinging crab. Mithrax cinctimanus The have a commensal relationship with C. gigantea

nope no anemone i remember months ago it was 1/3 the size it is now, but now its a monster id say about 1 1/2 inches

it looks like some sort of stony crab, but not sure what kind. there are a bunch of different kinds.

can it hide it's face behind it's claws? it may be a shame-face crab...
