I found this tiny crab like critter in Manado, Indonesia, but can't find it in my reference books.
Has anyone here seen it before or can you identify it?
I estimate it to be about 2cm in length.

Brian & I corresponded about this. I thought - maybe - it might be a megalopa since there appears to be a semi-extended abdomen, then sent it to our crustacea curator, Jody Martin, for his opinion. With the lack of detail Jody was unwilling to even go that far with an id. So if anyone sees a tiny crustacean with bright yellow eyes please take a photo! Maybe we can figure it out.
