Latin Name: Chorila longipes
Geographic Range: Range is from Alaska to Mexico
SCUBA Divers Info:
This Decorator crab often is hardly decorated at all. I can most often be found on sponges below 50 feet. Colour is almost always a shade of orange.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not usually inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
