I cant see the purple claws but the parallel oblique grooves on the carapace are indicative of L.variegatus

This is a moult of a female judging by the empty eyes (indicating a moult) and the wide abdominal f;lap which females have to hold their eggs

I.m guessing Leptograpsus variegatus because the claws look to be partially purple colour
