Reef Lobster

I know they are predators, but does anyone have one in their reef tank ? if so how do u keep it off of your live stock ? does keeping them well fed make all the difference in the world ?

 

I have only seen one in a reef tank before but there wasn't that many small fish or inverts in the tank and no coral on the bottom of the tank either. If the Lobster can grab it he will try to eat it lol.

 

yea figured as much

 

I finally pulled a purple out. This guy got around. Climbed all over the rock at night and ate the leathers. He also got a few fish too so be prepared if you get one. and I fed the heck out of him.
Maybe it was a mistake to name all of my crustaceans after american gladiators.

 

LMAO! From the good old days like Turbo and Gemini or from the remake they did a couple years ago?

 

Classic all the way. Good guess too, he is Turbo the Purple Lobster! Soon to find a new home at the lfs.
