I just saw this guy scurrying along my glass. I looked away for a few minutes and then finally found him at the base of a lime green leather. The leather is attached to a cluster of small rocks and he camoflaiged very well on them. He must have hitchhiked in on this leather from IPSF.com in Hawaii. From googling, it might look like a xanthid crab. Any ideas?

Tough call from those pics.

It could be a swimmer crab. A top down photo might be helpful.

No doubt... He wasn't very photogenic and I can't find him this AM. Will try again when I get a chance. Thanks,
