This is an ornate spiny lobster (Panulirus ornatus). Apparently this is what it takes to impress the girls in lobster world.... Works for me.
@weaniejeanie53
That's impressive everywhere!
@weaniejeanie53 I mean, I don’t know anything about lobster sex, but if anything is going to entice me to find out with anything “spiny,” this’d be it.
@kingtor he’s a handsome chap isn’t he?!
@weaniejeanie53
I wanted a pet lobster that was florescent blue and at the pet shop but i'm not that good with fish. But gorgeous example up there
@casserolefood it probably wouldn’t have been happy living in captivity anyway.
@weaniejeanie53
It was in a fish tank but you had to feed it other live fish.
@weaniejeanie53 Must be friends with Tamatoa (Moana) 😆
@squaremoon @weaniejeanie53 exactly what I was thinking! Now I can't get the song out of my head.

@weaniejeanie53 Goodness, he looks like a tiny Mardi Gras parade

@weaniejeanie53

Roses are red,
Lobsters are… quite a lot of different colours it turns out.

“Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam
I was a drab little crab once
Now I know I can be happy as a clam
Because I'm beautiful, baby”

@weaniejeanie53 whoa! I would definitely never be able to eat that lobster!
@weaniejeanie53 Color me impressed - that's some serious Annihilation-tier effort
@weaniejeanie53@mas. The ones on the Great Barrier Reef migrate to PNG to spawn - quite the journey for a little crustacean! They're also absolutely delicious.
@weaniejeanie53 lobsters bringing the bling!!!
WOW!
@weaniejeanie53 @KiKiPosting Looks like an artwork rather than a living creature.
@weaniejeanie53 Yep, he definitely gets my vote.
@weaniejeanie53 So if the Fluffy*Orca* falls in love with a ornate lobster, will it end well for the lobster? 😅
@drdelle it doesn’t look good I’ll admit! No he’d be safe actually, we don’t eat lobsters.
