WhyReef - Fun Facts
Like crabs and shrimp, ornate spiny lobsters are crustaceans. That means they have hard shells, or exoskeletons, that protect their soft bodies from predators. When they grow larger, they molt, or get rid of, their old exoskeleton. They will then grow a larger exoskeleton to fit their new size.
