The California spiny lobster is a species of spiny lobster found in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Monterey Bay, California to the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico. It typically grows to a length of 30 cm and is a reddish-brown color with stripes along the legs, and has a pair of enlarged antennae but no claws. Females can lay up to 680,000 eggs, which hatch after 10 weeks into flat phyllosoma larvae. Adults are live in rocks at depths of up to 65 m, and feeding on sea urchins, clams, mussels and worms. The spiny lobster is eaten by various fish, octopuses and sea otters, but can defend itself with a loud noise produced by its antennae ImagePhoto of California spiny lobster.
