Spider crab-ish thingy?

Hi guys,

During a video/photo liveaboard in Egypt I bumped into this little dude during a night dive.

Couldn't find it in any id books. Can you help out?

Video shot around 7:30pm and the topology was an easy sloping rocky ocean bottom, sadly full of coral debris.

Check the video here (around 3:25 into the video)

Looks to be a decorator crab, probably in the Hyastenus genus. Really difficult to pinpoint these ones.

Cheers,

Marli
