The rare blue ghost lobster is a cobalt blue and white variation that we get once in a blue moon from Taiwan. These are tough to breed and when we get them, they sell quick! Very similar in behavior and size to the other clarkii species.

Care Guide

Tank setup: Crayfish need plenty of hiding places like caves or pipes and a tight-fitting lid, since they climb out. Avoid copper-based medications.

Feeding: Feed sinking pellets once a day. They also eat vegetables and leftover food.

Tankmates: Crayfish will catch and eat slow fish, shrimp and snails. They are best kept alone.

Molting: Crayfish shed their shell to grow. Leave the old shell in the tank; they eat it to regain calcium.

Good to know: These "lobsters" are actually a color form of the red swamp crayfish.
