Lobster anyone?

Does anyone have a Debelius reef Lobster,and if so what do you feed it? I like the looks of them but are they really reef safe? thanks!!

Very pretty critter.

Is supposed to be fairly reef safe/compatible...

But, just me...I don't like anything with pincher's...little inverts, fish or sleeping wrasses could be at risk.

I have a "red" /hairy reef lobster seems to be doing well , not picking on any thing that i can tell.
I would like to ad i have a cleaner shrimp and 2 pepper mints in there .
the only bad thing here is "loby" as i call him tends to stay under the LR and ya have to (most of the time) go looking for him.

My thought was the same omard, the pinchers kinda had me worried thinking he'd be after the other critters , so far so good though!! Let you know how things go . One other thing do you know if a Bi-color Blenny and a Lawnmower Blenny would get alone in the same tank?

Wildreef,
Glad to hear you have one !!! They do look pretty cool! I see that you even have Shrimp too and no problems with him going after them.That was a concern I had . I see that you have a 220gal though and I just have a small 46gal ,might be to cramped for everything to get alone!! I hope not ! By the way do you feed him anything extra?
