I was cleaning my tanks this morning and I looked down because I thought I saw a big, it was one of my lobsters crusing around. He looked very happy just walking around. I gasped and picked him up really quick. He must have been in a decoration, little bugger. But he had no fear.
 
Wow! He was showing off to the other lobsters. They told him he couldnt live in air!
 
Be careful when that happens. If you put them back in the water to fast they can drown, somthing to do with their gills drying or some such, read it somewhere. Anyway, I have had similar happen. Mine must have gone around under the furniture because it was covered in lint and dust so bad it looked three times its size!!

Wow, I didn't know that. Oh wow, Im glad you found him though before it was too late.
 
Yep. The recommended way to put them back into the tank is to hold them upside down as you submerge them so no air bubbles get trapped in their gills.
 
Okay, thanks. If it happens again I will remember that. I hope it doesn't happen again, I have to be careful.
