The body and claws of the Purple Lobster, as with other members of the genus Enoplometopus are covered with sensory filaments that give it its “hairy” appearance.

Possible exceptions are some invertebrates and some smaller bottom-dwelling fish. Lobsters should be kept one-per-aquarium, because they are territorial and intolerant of one another.
