Portunus sayi - the camouflage crab

AKA the Sargassum Crab, this little critter spends its life floating on the seaweed fields of the Western Atlantic and Carribean Sea.

It is amazingly camouflaged and often very difficult for scientists to even find!

In the modern world, these crabs can also be found on floating garbage patches.
