California tidepool/coastal crab, ID unknown. Love the colors on him though.
Based on the habitat (rocky intertidal) it is probably a striped shore crab. Purple shore crabs also occur in this habitat, but they tend to have distinctive red spots on the claws. Can't quite make out the carapace to be sure.
