Would it be a bad idea to stick it on your arm and see what happens? For science of course.Because of the shape of the legs and the claws at the ends, it looks like it might be some kind of parasitic arthropod.
It looks like it may be some sort of isopod - possibly one of the Idoteidae: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=118283
See, for example: https://inverts.wallawalla.edu/Arth...ifera/Family-Idoteidae/Idotea_ochotensis.html or https://www.flickr.com/photos/nacdel/15451019200/in/album-72157644279769966/ or http://www.zoofirma.ru/knigi/biota-japonskogo-morja/6630-synidotea-cinerea-gurjanova-1933.html or https://theoutershores.com/2014/06/02/idotea-an-intertidal-isopod/
