Umm....there's one extremely fresh in your tank!

Yes they're sold as Carribean lobster!

I paid 89$ for my peacock mantis shrimp...now that would be a really expensive meal!

I guess these things have more value as a pet than as a meal. I am willing to pay that much for my pet but I would never pay that much for one piece of meat.
