🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

Enoplometopus antillensis is a species of reef lobster endemic to warmer parts of the Atlantic Ocean. It is found at depths of 5–201 m in rocky and coral reefs, where it hides in small crevices. Dwarf reef lobsters are prized in the home aquarium hobby for their bright colors and small size.

Reef lobsters are distinguished from clawed lobsters (family Nephropidae) by having full chelae (claws) only on the first pair of pereiopods, the second and third pairs being only subchelate (where the last segment of the appendage can press against a short projection from the penultimate one).
