Crab Thing?

Is this bad? It hitchhiked on a rock i got that had 5 anemones on it. I’ve left it in the bucket since I don’t recognize it…

To me that looks like some sort of decorator crab but lets see what what more people think because I'm not 100% sure :face-with-tongue:

This is the underside, the eyes are toward the top and the mouth is in the middle. It has a really distinct triangle shape but searching this it doesn't seem to match any crab I can find. Even the decorators it doesn't really look a lot like them either...

Whatever it is, it’s probably a species in the superfamily Majoidea (spider crabs) which includes decorator, emerald, giant spider, and arrow crabs.

I calculated it out to be about an inch deep but it bunches up in that corner
