Another unidentified crab

This was an extra from Tampa Bay Saltwater. He hid for a week but finally came out. Very small front claws and red body and legs

Is the pink stuff part of him? Usually pink crabs are strawberry crabs, but if that's attached it'll change the Id.

I can't tell it its a decorated and those are things he picked up, but the symmetry makes me think it's part of him.

After a little research I found it to be a red spider decorator crab.

a very nice score

Thanks. I think you're right on. He's an interesting little fellow.
