Hitch Hiker Crab ID

[Tenny]

Hey Everyone,

Just got a shipment in this morning and found this little guy hiding beneath a chalice. I have looked on all the "common" ID websites and haven't found one that I would even describe as close?

Anyways, any help is highly appreciated, Currently he's floating in a 6oz souffle cup (to help give you an idea how small he is).

The only thing I could say that it some what resembles is this:

Thanks in advance!
