Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice tank.

I'm a bit concerned though... how long have you had the purple reef lobster? I have always heard they're not reef safe (which makes for a pretty misleading name). I'm not 100% sure why they're not considered reef safe, but I'd hate for you to lose fish or corals because of it.

I have had him for 3 years. He has never touched anything. He just hangout under some rocks during the day and at night he roams around checking things out. I have not had any fish or coral go missing since I got him. He is pretty big too.
here is a picture of his molt.
