Lobster


On a couple of recent dives, I've spotted a Caribbean spiny lobster, under a ledge.  Same ledge -- same lobster, I'm guessing.  It was about 12 inches in length. This species doesn't have giant claws like the American lobster. If you look closely, you can see spines all over it, for which it was named. The lobsters mostly hide during the day, and forage at night. This lobster was about 30 feet deep.
