So he/she came out and couldn't resist some new pictures. This guy is an eating machine, he has no problem eating a small chunk of Wahoo
every other day. I have had him only 5 weeks and he has molted twice :joy: . Just after I got him and just the other day!!!!
No he is not a spiny,(look at the stripes on his legs) we call them Spanish Lobsters around here. There is no size limit or season on them.

You know I have him in my frag tank and keep him pretty well fed. He does not seem to bother much of anything. I'm sure at night he is out throwing back a few with the snails and blue leggies checking out the reef!!!hehe

He is cool looking, has it molted yet. You can take the molt/shell and lay it out to dry on a flat surface and clearcoat it with a puff can and have a duplicate of him. It might take a couple of trys to get it right but the result is really neat...
This is a picture of one I did a few years back...

Mine just shed again and I thought that I would post some new pictures. Today was the first day from out behind the orcks after shedding. Next time he sheds, I don't think he will be able to make it out from behind the rocks.

I'm looking to add a purple "Enomopletapus" lobster to my reef, but feeling a little leary due to the lack of info.

Ive got to be honest, the lob(what we call a spanish lobster here in south fla) in my frag tank eats everything that taste like meat, unless he is fed every couple of days he is on the hunt. I'm not sure if he eats corals or not but he picks through every inch of the frag tank to find a meal. I have him on an every other day feeding process, one chunk of wahoo keeps him satisfied for a day or two. I take some more pics and post his progress.
