Hey all. I recently purchased a spiny lobster from a fish store not to local to my home. I figured they are a more calmer lobster and would kind of do his own thing but over the last few days I noticed a few of my fish have been dying when I wake up or get home. It looks he attacks at night time? The fish store I bought him from is not close to be so what should I do with him? He is a decent size and probably could use a bigger home. I take responsibility for the loss of my fish.
Here is a picture of him

Do you notice any markings on your fish?

They are opportunistic. Yes it is likely killing your fish. If a local fish store will not take it, then you drive it back to where you got it. That is the only responsible thing to do.
