Paralithodes brevipes, also called the spiny king crab and sometimes the brown king crab,^[2] is a species of king crab.^[1] In Japan it is known as hanasakigani (ハナサキガニ "flower blossom crab").^[3]

It has a limited distribution in cold, shallow waters as far south as the coast of Hokkaido,^[4] where male-only fishing has damaged the reproductive success of the species,^[5] up to as far north as the southwest Bering Sea.^[6]

They are known to be parasitized by Hematodinium.^[7]
