that lobster would either destroy your reef tank (even with its claws banded it will eat everything. or get sick and die from the water being far too warm for it. I live in maine (where most of those lobsters are caught) and the ocean temp is wayyy colder than your reef tank. You would have to have a coldwater marine tank for it to be healthy.

Usually its the "DSB vs SSB which should I do", "how to get rid of ick/flatworms", "how many tangs can i fit in a 20 gallon tank", "Help me with my Stocking list for my 5 million gallon tank that I'm getting in 6 months(and will prolly never get)..." (that ones my favorite!!!). I have never seen anyone want to raise food before!
Try buying a cow and placing it in your Backyard! If it gets to be too much you'll have steak 4 a year!!! lol!

hey we do that all the time in texas, I have a buddy raising about 4 cows for some friends right now! You laugh but oh if you have ever had fresh beef, once we slaughtered a cow and rotisseried the entire leg, talk about good food!!!! Then we had all the beef we could dream about for a year or so, untill the dang hurricane wiped out power and the freezer went out. Crap.

Oh man.. I was in Publix the other day thinking the same thing... how friggin funny would it be to have liberated a poor lobster and have him in his own tank... Of Course it would eat everything but it would be too funny...
I seriously considered it for awhile... never thought about the tanks temperature though, good point...

We buy 1/4 a cow from my husband's friend's farm twice a year. It is WAYYY better than the meat you get at the store.
