So I went to my LFS, saw this neat orange lobster, asked about it. Store said it was a slipper lobster, care requirements sounded doable for us, so we purchased. After getting it home and doing further research, I finally saw a picture of a slipper lobster, and this obviously isn't one. After a few hours we determined it is an Indo Pacific Furry Lobster, Palinurellus wieneckii. we were unable to find any additional information about it, or even any in the aquarium trade.
We decided to give it a shot since it seems to be related to the slipper lobster. This thread will be where I share what I learn and our experience keeping it.
