While diving in Anilao in 2015, I met this crab all dressed up for a stroll about town.
Any suggestions as to its name?

The black and blue dressings on this crab are pieces of coral the crab attaches to its head and front legs, supposedly for camouflage and maybe decoration. I have looked and looked for its name, and it may be a Corallimorph crab - Cyclocoeloma tuberculata - but other opinions are welcome.
