Hawaiian through Indo-Pacific native displays shades of vivid red with white mottlings across its carapace. Also known as the Hairy Reef Lobster, its body and claws are covered with sensory filaments that give its “hairy” appearance. Preferred to other lobsters because of its 5-6” maximum size, it is also considered to be reef safe, as it will typically not bother other aquarium inhabitants. Possible exceptions are some invertebrates and some smaller bottom-dwelling fish. Red Lobsters should be kept one-per-aquarium, because they are territorial and intolerant of one another
