"Electric blue?"

If it's not doing any damage, it's a good one.

Keep your eyes peeled.

The colors of the eyestalks and the antennae match the ones on the crab pictured as Clibanarius seurati in the Fenner/Calfo 'Reef Invertebrates' book.
Here is gallery which lists the genus name as Calcinus rather than Clibanarius. It also shows that C. laevimanus has similar colors on the eyestalks but different leg colors.
