Green Spiny Lobster (Panulirus penicillatus) シマイセエビ also many other names
The Green Spiny Lobster has a very wide range, from East Africa through the Indian and Pacific Oceans in tropical waters. It has many different names. The color can range from green to orange too. The ones that I have seen in Hawaii and in Japan have been greenish so I am sticking to Green Spiny lobster. They also have very large and thick legs. The tail is smaller in proportion to the carapace than other spiny lobsters. Amami
Green Spiny Lobster molt. The hard exoskeleton of Crustaceans doesn’t allow them to grow. They must molt their shell to grow. They exit between the carapace and the tail and leave their old shell behind. they are very softa and spongy after molting and vulnerable to predators until their new shell hardens. Amami
