Petrolisthes manimaculis, commonly known as the chocolate porcelain crab, is a species of marine porcelain crab found in the lower intertidal zone, primarily among rocks and weeds, along the coast of California. Description Petrolisthes manimaculis has a red or chocolate colored carapace, tan legs, gray antennae, and long chelipeds (claw-bearing arms) that extend 2-3 times the width of the carapace. The species name manimaculis is derived from the Latin for "spotted hands," due to the pattern of turquoise-blue spots on this species' claws that distinguish it from other sympatric species.
