About Cameron:
Cameron the Crayfish is the first pattern in the New Zealand Fish & Game Collection. Cameron is a Spiny Red Rock Lobster, commonly referred to as Crayfish in New Zealand, with his distinctive spikey shell and red colouring. Cameron is on the large side for a Crayfish, as Crayfish typically reach 60 cm long. Despite Cameron’s hard shell, he is very flexible, able to curl up into small holes and crevice where his strong legs help keep him in place. Cameron loves to show off his intricate tail and his impressive claws. He might come from a hard shelled family, but he is a true softy, so come create Cameron today!

Size: ~ 80 cm from top of Horns to end of Tail
