Hemigrapsus penicillatus is a species of crab. The native range of Hemigrapsus penicillatus extends from the Russian Far East (Kuril Islands and Aniva Bay) along the coasts of Japan , China , Taiwan and Korea, as far south-west as Hong Kong. Although the species was reported from Hawaii in 1903, this is likely to have been an error; there are no recent records of the species in the central Pacific.[1] Reports of H. penicillatus on the coasts of Europe refer to a related species, H. takanoi, which was only distinguished from H. penicillatus in 2005, several years after its discovery in Europe.[2] Hemigrapsus penicillatus lives in the intertidal zone on stony or muddy shores.[1]
