Summary description from Wikipedia:
Lithodes longispina
Lithodes longispina is a species of king crab. It has been found in Japan and Taiwan. Before 2010, its reach was thought to be much greater than presently understood, such as Australia, New Zealand, and Guam. It has also allegedly been sighted in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
It closely resembles L. megacantha, L. formosae, and L. paulayi.
