hello and purple / red lobsters

Hi all,
My name is Ed Wigglesworth and I live along the gulf coast down here in sunny Port Charlotte, Florida. my email is wiggeroo@netzero.net. I am setting up a 120 gallon marine aquariam and have an interest in breeding the little purple/red lobsters. Any suggestions on how I can identify a sexed pair?

Sincerely,
Ed Wigglesworth

Welcome to RS, Ed!

I don't know anything about lobsters because they wreck havoc on a reef tank.

Re: hello and purple / red lobsters

The purple and red lobsters are sold as reef safe but I've been afraid to try one for the very same reason that Sas mentioned.
