I personally am not familiar with the members of the genus in FL. Please fill in sighting date and in the future if you're unsure of an ID post to ID request or to a higher taxon, Brachyura for instance. Note the location of the eye stalks and carapace shape reminiscent of Ocypode quadrata, a member of the same family.
