Hello-
Just 4 days ago I bought a 40 dollar blue spiny lobster. Nice looking lobster wit 4 inch antennas. The LFS told me they tend to escape tanks. So I put a cover that covers 75% of the tank. (The best I could do) The next morning I woke up and to my surprise it was missing. I have a 9o gallon tank with rocks stacked up to the top. I search the tank with my eyes ( cause it’s a pain in the arse to start taking apart the whole tank. Anyways there was no visual on the lobster, I even looked for pieces of him. I checked my attire house inch by inch, and nothing. A few people have said his probably hiding, but he has freekin 4 inch antennas, if I can find my arrow crab and banded shrimp then there's no way this lobster can hide. It's been 4 days and haven't notice and foul odors in the house. I've accepted the fact that he's gone. But I have to get another one. Does anyone have any experience on this lobster, what am I doing wrong? How can a lobster disappear in 8 hours?
Thanks for any help,
DJPJ
