Blue Lobster

[DNordbak]

What would happen if I were to put a blu lobster into a tank with a red clawed crab? Do you think that they would be able to live together, or just end up killing each other?

Said crabs require water of at least light brackish salinity in addition to a haul-out platform. That being said, an adult blue "lobster" of any species could easily kill and consume a red-claw, and the latter would likely pose a risk to juvenile crayfish.

So if i have a red clawed crab living in regular freshwater, then it's not a good thing? And what is a haul-out platform?

It won't live as long as it would in brackish water, and will probably succumb to "the creeping death", whereby it will suddenly become inactive and shed limbs. By haul-out platform I mean an object extending out of the water to allow it access to air.

Maybe they'd make weird purple babies?
