Paralithodes californiensis, also known as the spiny king crab and the California king crab, is a species of king crab[1][2][3] It is closely related to P. rathbuni with the same common names being used for the two and some authorities suggest that they might be conspecific.[4] P. californiensis is found on muddy or rocky bottoms at depths of 145–300 m (476–984 ft) in the Pacific Ocean off southern California (Pismo Beach to San Diego).[4]
