Japanese porcupine crab (Paralomis histrix)

Taken 1/28/23 Monterey Bay Aquarium The Japanese porcupine crab (Paralomis histrix) crab is a species of deep water king crab native to Japan. It ranges from Tokyo bay to Enshunda and through to Kyūshū in the western Pacific at depths from 200 to 2,000 m. Being a king crab they lack a pair of legs compared to true crabs and are more related to hermit crabs. They live on the sea floor foraging for scraps and have few natural predators because of their size and spines. The name porcupine crab is also used for Neolithodes grimaldii. Japanese porcupine crabs are kept in aquaria in Japan but are less common outside of Japan.
