Red Lobsters look exactly like real lobsters – cooked lobsters – because most are actually quite red. They make very pretty and interesting tank residents (by themselves). Snap their large pincers off if you plan to keep them with your fish-This is the advice by the hobbyist but i think it is a bit cruel to do this; just leave him along with the rest that should be ok. It was sold here at RM 6.00 per prawn. Easy to keep.In China; the restaurants are cooking it as a local delicacy!
Long-Armed Blue Lobsters are really prawns. They can easily snag a fish the same size as their body. We had not seen them for a long time and did not miss them. Those old blue lobsters don’t resemble lobsters in the least. They’re really prawns – sort of a shrimp that grows as large as a small lobster.
Their long thin pincers (nothing like heavy lobster claws) are extremely adapt at catching any type of fish that swims close. Not just scavengers – these guys are active and efficient hunters. They also enjoy fighting with each other. You can also find them in many Thai restaurants.
I bought these type at RM 8.00 per prawn at Muar.But unfortunately both species are good at climbing out from the tank to escape! Please see my other posting @ 12/09/2009 on the same topic.
