Crab identification

Does anyone have any idea what kind of crab this is? I have found about 3 of them and everytime I find one its always dead. I have never seen them when they are still alive.

Are you sure it isn't a molt since you have seen 3? They look just like a dead crav, but you can see a small opening on the stomach side - and if you tap it you can see if there is flesh inside or it is empty. First one I saw I was sure my crab had died - then he was out and about 3 days later.
