Hostile Cave Mob Idea: Block Mimic

A hostile hermit/coconut crab-like mob that mimics blocks with its shell and only moves towards players while their backs are turned. They would make little skittering noises when they move, but instantly go back into hiding when players turn around. They would be pretty tanky, but using the kind of tool that matches the block they're hiding in (pickaxe for stone) would bypass their defence and take them out much faster. They would only spawn in caves, normally disguised as a type of stone and maybe also inflict status effects like hunger and/or mining fatigue.

The only name I can think of for them is the mimicrab, but idk if that sounds too much like a pokemon or fits with names like mooshroom.

    They could have stalagtites on their backs like pointy shells that drop when full grown.
