Range: Eastern Atlantic Ocean/Mediterranean

Natural Environment: Inhabits holes and crevices in rocky coastal areas

General Husbandry: Has a temperature range of 59 to 73°F (15 - 23°C). Rarely seen in the trade and as with most lobsters, they are extremely shy and once in the aquarium prefer to hide in caves during the day. After the lights go out they will search for food, including small invertebrates. May damage anemones and coral. Will accept any type of fish or shrimp flesh. Undemanding when it comes to water quality and needs lots of open substrate surface area to maneuver. One per tank.
