Tank size?
Tankmates?
Exact water parameters?
Salinity?
Lobster source?
They should eat just about anything, lobsters aren't fussy.

Large invertebrates often take time to get used to the transition and will not week for a few weeks. They will eat practically anything though, especially krill and scallops.

Beautiful lobsters but will get big in time. Will probably take a decade to reach eating size. I've wanted one but don't know how long it takes for them to grow beyond 3-4", which is about the largest I'd want a lobster in my small tank.

They can take fish and are usually reclusive except at night.

I've a red reef lobster I give cooked shrimp from the grocery store.Feed him a piece every other night.He usually is able to track it down quickly.We've been on the same routine with him for 6 years.One thing is if the frozen food has been in the freezer too long(4 weeks)it won't get eaten...

Any trouble with your lobster eating any tank mates?

I know that mantis shrimp stop eating before a molt. Do lobsters do the same?
