What is this creature?
Can someone tell me what this creature is. All I can tell you is it's about 3/8" and swims fast. For now I just call it Jerel.

Looks like the late-stage megalopa of....
some kind of crab. It'll likely molt one or two more times and so, increasingly assume a "crabbier" appearance, simultaneously becoming more of a bottom dweller.
I'd say butter and garlic...
although steamed in a tight wrap of banana leaves, with coconut milk, ginger, one small chili pepper and a pinch of salted black beans is also good.

I'll accept the donuts, if that's what you're asking.
The critter you can keep.

All I can say is that crabs with tails are ugly ick  We use to bring up rock crabs in our traps when I live on the olympic peninsula and they where ugly.
