There's a picture of a crab very similar to yours in the Humann & DeLoach book. Unfortunately, as they point out, it's extremely difficult to id these long-legged decorators because all the necessary characters are hidden by the decoration. Many of them are the so-called spider crabs in the family Majiidae.
