Red Lobster =)
Well, I'm not sure if I told anyone or not but, several weeks ago Matt at OTP had a really cool what (I thought was a blood shrimp only to have him tell me it was a red lobster) Lobster. After much deliberation (and me begging Jen) I brought it home only to find it take a liking to a cave of course IN THE BACK OF THE TANK *rolling my eyes*. Well, after several weeks of feeding it it has now taken a new cave move to the center of a open rock cave (where if I turn myself upside down I can see him *quite a sight I assure you*).
Anyhow, I fed it today and it decided to eat in a more open cave where I was able to get some pics.. Here they are

LOL... It'd be an expensive meal if it ever came to that point... Only thing is if I did eat him price/oz would be higher than I could buy it already prepared FROM the RED LOBSTER franchise (seeing it only gets to about 6" in size max) =)....
But, yeah it's pretty awesome only thing I wish I would have done was put him in the 70 gallon so I could see it easier (not as much rock in there)
As for the claws... I was at first... but, after reading further I found that it's a scavenger not a predator... If something small were to sit infront of it it might attack but, it doesn't mess with my algae blenny nor my mandarin so I think I'm safe.

I KNOW that Jen would be all for that... Red Lobster (the restaurant) is her favorite place in the world!!! Me... I can take it or leave it. I'm more of a Freight House 20 oz Prime Rib Guy (Engineers Cut I believe is what they call it lol) =) *they really do rock Jake*
