snakehead and lobster..!!

By lobster i'm assuming you mean one of the fresh water cray fish species ?
In my experience these cray's can be quite predatory, chances are while the snakehead is small your cray fish will nip at his fins when he's hiding or slowly lurking around. Then and quickly the channa will likely outgrow the cray and eat him.

Short answer ... NO
there are many mixes you can try, but in the end most snakeheads are far to aggressive for tank mates, they turn them into food.
Giants are known to be tolerant of equal sized or larger tank mates when younger. But most reports i hear end the same way, everything is fine then one day out of the blue they hit a point where they snap. One evening it's peaceful community with a giant snakehead, the next morning it's a solo tank full or pieces of former tank mates.
If you want more then a solo/species tank then Channa species are not a great place to start.

As soon at they shed their shell it will be eaten forsure.
Been there done that with large rusty crabs.
