I have a 6" Blue Spiny Clawless Lobster. He is pretty cool. I had him in my 120 where he would navigate around the entire tank as he pleased, so I got to see him all of the time. he is really an incredible scavenger; scaling up rocks, and reaching into crevices where the crabs do not. But I had to move the Lobster out of the 120 because I added a Fuscus Trigger who tried to make a meal out of him. But for the first few days the Fuscus was afraid of the Lobster. And the Lobster would chase him. Anyway, I would like to try the Lobster in my 180. But in my 180 I have the extra large Hermit Crab dardanus Megistos. This crab has such strong claws that it can crack snail shells, and eat them alive. I have seen this crab pinch airline tubing so tightly that the airstone quit. These crabs are sort of neccessary in this tank. Although the Lobster could reasonably take over all of their duties one day when he gets big. Anyway, I would be gambling in the first place to put the Lobster in that tank with an Eel, and a Black Durgeon Trigger, but honestly I am more worried that the crabs will try to eat him. Maybe I should remove the 5 large crabs, and put in the Lobster. The eel would then be the main concern as I have a friend who keeps a Black durgeon with shrimp, and he hides in caves with them! LOL!
Here's a short video of the Lobster if you are interested.
