, but most species are far smaller. Like other snailfish, they lack scales and have a loose gelatinous skin; a few species are covered in prickly spines. Most species of ''Careproctus'' are poorly known, but they feed on small animals and some have unusual breeding behaviors: At least ''C. ovigerus'' appears to be a mouth brooder where the eggs are carried and develop in the males' mouth. ''C. fulvus'' has a commensal relationship with glass sponges, laying their eggs in the paragastric cavity. Several other ''Careproctus'' species are parasitic on king crabs (at least ''

As far as known, these parasitic ''Careproctus'' are not host specific, but will use various king crab species, and on occasion an individual king crab may even carry the eggs of more than one ''Careproctus'' species at the same time.
