I am reasonably (but not totally) sure that this is a Sargassum Swimming Crab.

The body color (golden) and the size (about 3") seem right.

But there are supposed to be a pair of rear legs.... that have developed into paddle-like appendages for swimming.

I didn't know about the special legs.... until well after I shot the pixture.

So it could be that we just don't see those legs.... so, take a better pixture next time.

Or it could be careful identification.... of the wrong species.
