Mediterranean slipper lobster — size comparison — facts and sources

The Mediterranean slipper lobster lives on rocky and sandy bottoms of the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic. Broad, flattened antennal elements distinguish it from spiny lobsters with very long, thin antennae.

Its food includes molluscs, especially rock-attached Patella limpets. Females carry eggs beneath the abdomen; the cited FAO account records egg-bearing females from June to August.
