Pretty sure channel clinging crabIt was HUGE! They typically stay under the ledges but he was in a crevice and fully exposed. I need to look up what species it is. Other than the obvious hermit crabs I don't know one crab from another.
EDIT: I got out my Reef Creature Identification book. It's definitely a clinging crab. Either a Channel Clinging Crab or a Hairy Clinging Crab. I'm not certain but I would put my money on Channel Clinging Crab. It was definitely on the upper end of the size range for the species.
