Purple Reef Lobster lifespan?

[Jeremy K.A.]

Hey Reefers! I woke up today and found that my Debelius Purple Reef Lobster unfortunately passed away. I had him for 5.5 years and was curious how long they usually live in captivity? I haven't been able to find much information on their lifespans so thought I'd ask here

Mine just died today after 3 years 4.5 months.

mine just died on Sunday at 10pm... I haven't even had him a year, he died mid molt, but he might've gotten pulled into the skimmer as he lives in there, we have a bunch of fish which he would eat so he lived there, he was very good at avoiding it though.
