Default Blue Lobster

I have a Blue Lobster I think he is pretty cool but he is starting to get bigger should I be worried? He doesn't knock things over and he's lots of fun to watch crusing around the tank. Any thoughts?

I've heard they get large and destructive. They may also try to eat your fish, but I've never owned one.

I heard that they get big also. I was gonna get one a few years ago, but I saw a pic of a fellow reefers 4" Red Sea purple lobster holding a 1" damsel in it's claws and that was enough lobster for me

If it gets too big, there's always the bar-b

A fellow reefer 'loaned' me an Orange/Purple lobster for about six months - great character, tended to keep quiet during the day. Lobster was about 4" to 5" long. However, it did manage to make a couple of chromis disappear (nothing else in the tank other than a few snails, hermits, and corals). Keep an eye on the lobster, but don't jump to get rid of it unless you are sure it is a problem... they are a nice addition to a tank.
