He would have a hard time eating too, if you just put him in the ocean.
I dont know much about lobsters, and obviously the other poster was joking, but why cant you cut the antennas shorter?
Just wondering, jeeze, dont get all worked up! :scared:

If you grew up in the 'burbs of Chicago and someone scooped you up and dumped you in Botswana, you might not have an easy time. JMO.
thanks for the response really changes my mind...

I just got a purple lobster yesterday, very handsome one he is...
I released him into the tank and he used his tail to swim around a bit... but since then, he just hides alot, staying stationary for hours at a time and is often very hard to find and look at.
Is his shyness just initially? I'm hoping he'll actually start coming out during the day every now and then. Id hate to have paid 30 bucks for something so beautiful that just sits under rocks all day.

When I had a freshwater setup i had the same problem... i liked the fiddler crabs but if i only had 2 or three, there would almost never be one in direct sight. So I went out and bought more, and had 6 in the end. Problem was, after about a month, they got comfortable and routinely 4-5 or even all 6 were foraging for food at the same time. Im hoping that'll happen in this case... I d love to buy a second lobster, but they say theyll fight savagely until one is slain.
