Hey R2R,
So I got a spiny blue lobster for my 180 FOWLR. Hes about 3-4" long, and really cool. But some people have commented that he will eat healthy fish while they are sleeping. Does anyone have any experience with these inverts to share with me to know if they will become predatory in the future, or if they are safe as long as they are fed. I have a prized queen and french, along with 10 other fish that I would not be happy to see eaten. Do they eat any fish, or just sick fish that cant get away. Anyone with experience would be preferred to people guessing, since most websites say they are peaceful. thanks in advance for any advice.
Thanks.

I had one and it didn't last long, I think it starved to death as I never saw it eat anything. I would imagine though that if they can catch a fish they will eat it.
