Reef Lobster are they reef safe?

For those who have them, how big do they get or how quickly do they grow? I want to know when I will be able to eat one if I get one

LMAO!

Umm...you'd be waiting a super long time. They lobsters dont get big. Lets just say mine has grown maybe an inch in a three year period. Its only about 3.5 " now.

I don't think I would like that too much if he moves all my frags all over the place. I think I will hold off on the reef lobster.

Thanks for all your input guys

Thanks,

I've never had mine over the years every touch a clam or bother with a clam. Has any body else every have a problem though?

If anything your shrimps would be something it goes after. Just keep it fed weekly. I feed mine a piece of Krill once a week. I have mine with 3 cleaner shrimps right now for the longest time with no problems. Something else to consider to is I have mine in a large tank. Perhaps smaller tank would be different. Every creature behaves differently, so what could work for one doesn't always work for another. But you don't know untill you try, right?
