Caribbean Spiny Lobster

Found singly, or in squads, during the day hiding in caves, crevices, and holes in the reef, and in seagrass beds, foraging for food at night, over shallow, and deeper waters, of harbours, piers, mangroves, and coral reefs.
Juveniles often found wedged in corals, with just the antenna showing.
Widespread Western Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean

Lobsters live in caves and crevices during the day, often several together, coming out at night to feed.
Sometimes caught in the torches of divers where they scuttle off back into the dark.
They do not have true claws, the soft and flexible tail is used for swimming rapidly backwards, for short distances to get away from danger.
Spiny lobsters are caught in baited lobster pots for gourmet dining.
