Caribbean spiny lobsters!!

[fishybizzness]

Has anyone kept Caribbean spiny lobsters successfully long term? I read that they grow really fast and would like to put a few tiny ones in my 55 gal dt but I'm not sure how long it will take to outgrow it.

Anyone??

This one isn't even full grown so no, not really a good idea to put them in a 55.

Anyone??

As for growth rates its pretty fast if they receive what they need

They are pretty agreesive. If you plan to have just the lobster and nothing else, and also a plan to re home it when its to big. Then go ahead.

Also in Florida there is a size limit.

Why don’t you try it. Like others say I will assume it’s aggressive but if it gets to big just eat it :)

I'll probably just let it go if it gets too big...[emoji6]

Not a good idea to release captive critters back in to the ocean. Check your local laws...it may be illegal also.
