Copper lobster/ Palinurellus gundlachi. Small they eat small inverts. I have 5 lobsters and countless shrimps in there. Keep you guys posted and thanks for the link.

I don’t recommend it for most. We checked him out prior to taking him. Pincer is more of a poke type weapon than a grabbing type. Not a lot of fragile fish in this tank.

Seriously tho, it looks like a rock lobster.




Ok, ok... I'll be serious serious now. It's actually a real thing commonly called a spiny lobster in Florida. I think California has them too. They dont have claws like the northern lobsters do... just two huge antennae things.

I'm not 100%, but it looks close.

I mean, some people keep snakes and give them a live mouse snack every once in a while. This man keeps a fierce predatory lobster, who are we to judge ;Hilarious
