Chapter 32: OMG....

Yesterday morning, I saw that there were 3 mini lobster in my aquarium. I was shock as one of them was upside down and there should just 2 mini lobster and not 3. I was totally confused. Thinking whether my parents have bought another 1 and 1 of them has died. But in the end, the doubt was clarified that the female had undergone ecdysis(moulting).

Well, the female lobster sure has been behaving odd for the last few days. Keep avoiding the food and less active than usual. Anyway this is the first time I see this. I never thought that lobster also undergoes ecdysis. LOL.. I'll try to capture the video of the process next time if I'm lucky enough to see the process. It must be interesting.

Photos will tell the rest of the story...

The upside down 'lobster' turns out to be the old exoskeleton.
