This is a rubble crab. But it has a cool sounding Latin name: Daldorfia horrida.
It is apparently the inspiration for one of the lesser known monsters in the Toho universe, Ganimes!
From Space Amoeba (1970). No, Ganimes is not the title monster. Even monster movies know the difference between an amoeba and a crustacean.
How did I go this long not knowing there was a crab kaiju?
