Slipper lobster (
Scyllarides latus). Slipper lobsters are fairly closely related to spiny lobsters, more so than they are to clawed lobsters.
I did
research on a couple of different slipper lobster species than the one shown here, and am always sort of surprised that slipper lobsters are not better known. I think they’re very charismatic crustaceans, with all sorts of interesting shapes and colours.
