Spiny lobsters, aka Rock Lobsters are a family of about 45 species. Spiny lobsters are also called crayfish, sea crayfish or crawfish. Like true Lobsters, spiny lobsters are edible and are an economically significant food source; they are the biggest food export of the Bahamas.
Spiny lobsters are found in almost all warm seas, including the Caribbean, East Coast of Florida, Mediterranean Sea, Australia, and South Africa.
Spiny Lobsters can be real Monster Lobsters. They produce a rasping sound to repel predators. Like a violin bowed, the Spiny Lobster makes this sound by slipping and rubbing its antennae base against a surface.
Spiny lobsters tend to live in crevices of rocks and coral reefs. They venture out at night to eat snails, clams, crabs, and sea urchin.
Spiny Lobsters are social and like to hang out together, unless one becomes diseased in some way and they all will stay far away and leave the sick one to die.
