baum lobster beware!!!

Hector Fajardo · Jul 29, 2019

Recently I added a baum lobster to my aquarium, knowing that they prey on small fishes and crustaceans. I fed her octopus and shrimp at least 3-4 times a week. Last weekend my bicolor angelfish was gone, and i found it on the lobster's stone, no tail, no face. Be careful if you plan to get one of this lobsters they are hunters and they will get not only the smaller fish. Attached a pic of the murderer and the victim.

Sorry for the loss. Agree, nice looking lobster, but I'd be banishing him to the sump.

Sorry about your loss. I had a purple/reef lobster long ago. They are so cool, but not very friendly.
