Well I got a new reef lobster, a beautiful purple color, about 2 weeks ago and I was feeding it every 2 to 3 days a chunk of rods food for carnivores. I know where he is hiding so I would feed him off a feeding skewer. It kind of sucks that he is a recluse though, but still a very cool addition. So This morning I had a mini freak out when I saw it laying lifeless in my mushroom coral. When I used the skewer to push him out of there iwas soon relieved that he only molted. I've seen my cleaner shrimp molt before but never thought that Claude would do the same. Call me naive or ignorant... im just thrilled he is alive.

Anyone have pictures of their reef lobsters?:bounce1:147395
Sorry for the bad pic I only see him at night.

i had a scary moment a week ago when one of my rock crabs molted. took me 2 days to figure out that he just molted & didn't die.

Reef Lobsters are notorious for eating small fish. Glad he did not die.
