Hi Laura, thanks for your report and patience with us to get back to you on species ID! From the great close up photo you took, I can identify that crab as a Pygmy rock crab found on page 2 of the Molt Search ID guide here: https://wsg.washington.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/Molt-Search-ID-Guide_v2.pdf Happy molt searching!
