Caribbean spiny lobster — size comparison — facts and sources
The Caribbean spiny lobster chiefly feeds at night. Sheltered by day in reef crevices and other refuges, it seeks snails, bivalves and crabs after dark. Long antennae aid defence; shorter ones detect chemical signals and water movement.
Females carry fertilised eggs beneath the abdomen. Planktonic larvae are carried by currents, so local populations may receive young from distant Caribbean areas. Growth requires successive moults, during which the old exoskeleton is shed.
