Cryptolithodes expansus is a species of king crab native to the Korean coast and Japan. They live in the sublittoral zone to a depth of approximately 50–60 metres (160–200 ft).[2] Adults measure approximately 50 mm (2.0 in) wide and 80 mm (3.1 in) long and have a rostrum of about 10 mm (0.39 in).[3]
