Re: purple lobster
If you can redo your rock work, how about a large overhang/covered area where the lobster would be more visible??

Re: purple lobster
Well that sucks. Seems like you have a smart onewho doesn't want to be watched. Looks like you may have to keep demolishing his home everytime he builds a new one. That is the kind of stuff I have a small plastic sand rake for.
Time may not be any help either since these critters normally hide from the lightduring the day.
Keep us posted.

Re: purple lobster
You could give the clear cave a try but I am not sure that will help much. Since they are more of a nocturnal creature, they will try to find the darkest place possible.

Are you running any type of moon lighting in your tank? Maybe night time is the right time.

Re: purple lobster
I have a black light but I don't use it. I only turn the light on about an hour a day so the coral will grow. I am going to try a few things and update soon.
