Hi all ,

My wife wanted a purple lobster , and it has been living its best life. It recently killed my Hector’s goby so I unfortunately have to rehome. The question is how the heck do I get it out?

It lives in the middle under the rocks - is there a trap I can use or do I need to dismantle the reef to get it out ? I am close to using a harpoon lol I don’t like fish murderers

I am sorry but what did you expect, it's a lobster!!
Two choices, a trap or remove some rock.

Ye I let my wife make choices so it’s our tank , this one sadly didn’t work out. I have been able to make a mantis shrimp community friendly by feeding them with turkey baster and eventually would even swim like a fish when I put food in. The lobster is not like that sadly - secretive and always scared looks like I’ll be doing some redecorating this weekend lol

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
