My previous spotting of this crab: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8546843

Notes:

I spotted this urchin crab at Dayang Beach, Talikud Island, at a depth of about 30 feet. Actually, there were two of them on this fire urchin. I believe those pink pellets it's carrying underneath are eggs!

Thanks, MayraSpringmann! Haven't been seeing these guys for a long while now. I wonder if they're seasonal...
That's right, Owl. Thanks for your comment. :)

Thanks, Gerardo! You know, I realized that I had pictures of this crab with eggs only today when I was reviewing my archives. :D
