The Blue Spiny Lobster or Painted Crayfish, has distinctive markings of azure blue stripes on its legs. The carapace is greenish-blue, and the dorsal surface is darker blue with a reticulated pattern. The tail fin is also blue. The abdominal segments have white bands and the antennae is very long. It lacks the large claws found on most other lobsters.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is peaceful and multiple specimens may be kept in a large tank. It generally will not bother other inhabitants of the aquarium, except for sessile or other bottom dwelling animals. Live rock with multiple crevices and hiding places would provide a good environment. It may be shy when first introduced, but once acclimated, will be more visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is capable of making a sound that is very similar to a cicada (locust). It may perform a dance-like maneuver, whipping its long, split white antennae as it moves about the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt will eat most all types of meaty foods that are placed in the aquarium. It is sensitive to high levels of copper-based medications.
