They do that near me too, my neighbour bought one, trying to convince me it was a blue lobster. Quite clearly a Cray fish. He was expecting it to reach about a foot long etc. 18 months later its still only 6" but he won't believe me!

That and "the fish will only grow as big as its tank" when a guy was asking about a pangasius catfish. Lucky I was there to stop him buying it and keeping it in his 3ft tank

Careful...don't want to be bashing the stores now...In some cases those crays are called lobsters and come in labeled as such so the shops just stick with the name.
