Looks like one of the "decorator" crabs that paste stuff to their shells as camo. Generally gotta' remove the stuff to get to the species.

what can i use to get that stuff off... with out harming the critterRick Murchison:
There are a few decorators I can ID when I see 'em, but most... most go on their way without my being able to get down to species - 'cause I don't know if removing their "stuff" will hurt them or not. Just seeing one in the daytime is a treat.
