Found this guy at Ko Saak (near Pattaya, Thailand). Depth around 8 msw.

I was told the crab is Dorippe dorsipes. Not sure if this is correct...

Would appreciate it if someone could ID the urchin too, please.

Found another one (same location, approx. 10 msw depth) - this time with a jellyfish on its back.
