Euastacus sulcatus is a freshwater crayfish, or yabby. It is bright blue in colour and roams the forest floor when conditions are damp.[2]
E. sulcatus ranged from Mount Tamborine to the Lamington Plateau, southern Queensland, and west along the McPherson Range bordering New South Wales. A relict population may exist on Mount Warning.
The species occurs in streams at altitudes above 300 metres (980 ft), in rainforest and sclerophyll forest.
