I've only just discovered that this exists...
Orangutan crab (Achaeus japonicus)
.....it has relatively long arms, which are thickly covered with fine hairs, red or reddish brown in colour, and often laden with small bits of debris for further camouflage....
....frequently, but not always, found in association with the bubble coral wikipedia

-They're found in the Indo-Pacific region, have a naturally shaggy pelt, and like to decorate themselves with debris, small plants, sedentary animals, shells and gravel to enhance their natural camouflage!

-During the day like to hang out in Bubble Coral, which swells its bubble-like structures to maximise its intake of light....
