Goku lookin' decorator crab

Anyone can give me an idea of which genus this Goku lookin' crab is in?

OMG, that's hysterical! My first thought was that it found Eric's styling gel. Is that cyano on its back or sponge or both? doesn't really matter, all the characters are covered up. Maybe a true crab expert would hazard a guess about genus but I won't.

That's such a cool critter.

I don't think its a (Majiid) decorator. I recognise the eyes. I'll have a look in a book, when I get the chance.

Have to dive now.

I think we've seen it on the forums before...can't seem to find the thread though.

Drew,

Where specifically was this photograph taken?

Here's a side profile. f/11 1/60 ISO200, 100mm. Philippines

Drew, my guess is that it might be a Dromiid - sponge crab. But rather than being encased by sponge - this one is encased by algae. I'll try to look in a book today.

He's so funny.
