Anyone know if this is a decorator crab? Pic taken in Komodo National Park

So, I'm not sure what this critter is... the guide said decorator crab but the eyes don't look right. It was as big as my hand, at least. Taken in Komodo National Park, Indonesia.

Looks like Gizmo from the movie Gremlins!

Aaahhh , my mother-in-law !!!! Never thought I would see her again :crazy:

Seriously though I would love to know what that is.

Spooky!

Fascinating image. I agree the eyes and mouth look much more like a vertebrate than a crustacean. Did it move?

Teddy bear crab?

I suspect this is Zalasius dromiaeformis, called Shaggy Crab in some ID books.

Definitely not a decorator crab! Shaggy crab seems to be right.
