Hi, I'm Andrew and I’m just a simple zoology student and crustacean researcher from Ohio. This blog centers around animal IDs so feel free to send me any unknown species (and its location) that you have and I will take my best shot at IDing it! I also occasionally post random zoology/animal factoid things.
Disclamer: none of the pictures are mine unless stated

Violet-spotted Reef Lobster (Enoplometopus debelius)
Also known as Debelius’s Dwarf Reef Lobster, E. debelius is a species of reef lobster (not a true lobster but related) that occurs throughout the Pacific. E. debelius inhabits rocky/coral reefs and is mainly active at night.
Due to its bright coloration Enoplometopus debelius is very popular in the aquarium trade. It is currently unknown if the trade has any significant effects on its population.
