It might bother sessile invertebrates or other bottom dwelling animals that is why the Blue Spiny Lobster is considered reef safe but with caution. It requires a well established tank with lots of live rocks and multiple crevices to hide.

The Blue Spiny Lobster may perform a dance-like maneuver, whipping its long, split white antennae as it moves about the tank. It is also capable of making a sound that is very similar to a locust.

It is extremely difficult to breed in captivity and is sensitive to high levels if copper-based medications. Since the Blue Spiny Lobster features five pairs of legs and a broad tail, it can move quickly in reverse. It undergoes molting, and is vulnerable to injury when molting as its carapace becomes very soft. Therefore we advise you to provide them ample hiding spots in the tank.
