Description

Red Reef Lobsters (Enoplometopus), are a genus of small lobsters that live on reefs in the Indo-Pacific, Caribbean and warmer parts of the east Atlantic Ocean. They are brightly colored, with stripes, rings, or spots. They are typically mainly red, orange, purplish and white. Red Reef Lobster are small, up to 4″–5″ inches, nocturnal (spending the day in caves or crevices), and very timid. As a result of their bright colors, Red Reef Lobsters are popular in the aquarium trade.
