Mango lobster?

[sweetobsolete]

Hello, new here! Sorry for the randomness, but I need to ask something to people who know something about fish stuff. I'm super new at saltwater fish.

Anyways, there's this listing on craigslist for an orange "mango" lobster. I don't know wtf it is, I've never heard of an orange lobster. Is it maybe a shrimp? Here's a link to the listing, there is pictures:

I've never heard of those...
But it looks like a freshwater animal.

And welcome!

Thanks!

You're probably right about that, judging from the gravel? But still, kinda curious what it is.

I don't see it listed on liveaquaria, but we used to have ones just like this
Tropical Inverts for Freshwater Aquariums: Hammers Cobalt Blue Lobster
only red when I worked for petco.

Its more like a crawfish but they call them lobsters and no they are not for saltwater.

Welcome to the site!

I used to keep crayfish, they are freshwater, and the eat all your fish...they are tasty though.

Well, its likely I wouldn't get it anyways as its like a 50 minute drive to that person. I just thought it was interesting looking.

and thank you for the welcomes everyone!
