Poindexter.V2Apparently lobsters can be functionally immortal, but what limits them is either predation, or their shells not being able to grow any further
That's nuts. Sea creatures are crazy.
Edit: I wonder if pressure from being deep underwater helps them stay smaller, and if being in a shallow tank effects growth at all

I remember seeing this. Its actually a pretty interesting story. I wonder if there is some kind of plot twist where the guy is actually a serial killer and is feeding bodies bit by bit to his lobster.
I wonder how Leon will react to his new tankmates. He sure doesn’t seem to like them very much. The sweet new pad isn’t so sweet when you have roommates
Agreed, I know nothing about how social lobsters are but he seems to find them as more of an annoyance. I also wonder if he leaves the food when small fish are there because his natural predators are drawn to small fish feeding too

I wonder how much of it is just discomfort from being alone for so long?

Yeah eventually they die from exhaustion, as moulting is a very energy intensive process and once they get to a size when they can't sustain shedding and growing a new shell they die. But they as well as some reptiles don't become weaker with age the way many animals do.
