Debelius Reef Lobster [Enoplometopus debelius]
Description
This small, reef-dwelling lobster is a colorful highlight for divers, often tucked into crevices and under ledges. With its bold patterning and alert posture, it may peek out when the area is calm, then quickly retreat if you get too close. Look for it in rocky reef habitats where it can wedge itself into tight hiding spots.
