Well,you were not very specific of the type of lobster you wanted to add. Some tend to get quite large...depending on your choice of lobsters.

What kind of lobster would be ok? Maybe Blue Spiny Lobster, Purple Lobster, or a Red Reef Lobster.

If you really want one your gonna get one no mater what we say, make sure it is by itself in a species tank becasue they are very agressive and eat everthing.

What you can do and what you should do are 2 different things.......Just like people put a tang is a 29 gallon....lots of people do it....but not really a good idea. Just my 2 cents.

I keep a purple lobster with two fire shrimp. To be honest, the lobster was a somewhat expensive animal that is very seclusive and isnt seen too much. He does spend all his time under a rock with his face and claws sticking out, but his whole body is never in sight, maybe once a day at most. He's also a large one, at 3 inches.
He will slash at the shrimp if they get too close.
