[jewban]

[fishtanknewbie]

What kind of lobster is that!

Are those hard to take care of or too messy? I was looking for a cool invert for my 40 but all my fish are around an inch long.

LMAO
The lobster appears to be lonely.
I have to agree with F1shman...
IMHO, lobsters should be on a plate with butter and lemon, not in my tank. they are too powerful and clumsy to be with delicate stuff.
I can send my buddy "VITO" over to teach him some respect if you want.
He has a certain pursuasive way with tough guy lobsters.

Let me know.

lol thats great. ever watch Viva La Bam on MTV? Don vito? lol name ur picasso off of bams hilarious uncle? lol

 

[vinsaltank]

I have never watched "Viva La Bam" , but my sons friend was wearing a shirt with that on it, so I have some insight as to "Bam's" activities.
My picasso was named after Vito Corleone.. Got any idea who he was? :thinking:
I feel so old....

 

[f1shman]

no im quite young lol
Hint: just got my license

 

[f1shman]

Bam's uncle, Don Vito, is crazy he does random stuff, he mumbles all the time, and he drinks tabasco sauce, he drank a whole bottle at once!!

 

[vinsaltank]

Vito Corleone =
( Sorry for hi-jacking your thread..) Last post Sir.

 

[f1shman]

is that a mob guy? lol

 

[mimzy]

Vin, that is a spectacular name for a -headstrong - fish!!

What a great idea! I hope you don't have any Turks or Tataglias in there..... :hilarious

 

[jewban]

u think ishould take him back to the lfs
ill sell him....hes cool like four or five inches across i dunno weird though...lemme know what u think i should do, im afriad hes gon eat the damn anemone

 

[f1shman]

well if everything in the tank looks fine and the anemone is still fine, then you might as well keep it. otherwise, bring it back to ur LFS and ask for store credit

He might be bothering the anemone but in general most lobsters would not be considered reef safe. They are very opportunistic and if given the opportunity can potentially take down fish if hungry enough. IMO I would try to get him out. If he's the personality of your tank I'd maybe try to move the anemone to another spot and see if it persists. Good luck
