I was thinking about ordering a purple lobster off of here and was wondering if anyone had any comments, stories, or suggestions before I purchased. Thanks

Agressive, will catch and eat small fish and Iverts and will get more bold as it grows, so make sure you can handle it, Wont eat your corals though!

I have one and I have never had it bother anything. I do not see it though, ever. I know it's still in my tank b/c I find molts.

i have one that doesnt bother anything, i don't ever see it, but i find its molts as well, honestly i would stick with a new coral or something else that you will see more often, i am disappointed i don't see mine ever, almost feel like i have wasted my money

i see mine all the time, but hes always in this one cave and i only have a thirty gallon, so hes not hard to find.. he only roams the tank at night. mine never bothered anything. hes cool , but dont expect him to do much more than just sit there.

MY BLUE SPINEY USED to hide for like the first 2 months but after he got used to the tank, me and his surroundings he regularly comes out to say HI!

I had one and hated it. First off it hid all the time. It was like taking a $20 and sticking under a rock in the tank.
Second, they will kill any slow moving fish like gobies, firefish, blennies and jawfish. The one I had killed my LM blenny.
I had to take out a lot of rock to get the SOB out of the tank.
