- Generally Australian Red Claw crayfish are blue to a blue/brown/green color. Because of their selective breeding in the hobby, they will not change to their original coloration, except in times of stress or when feed or housed incorrectly. The blue color seems to intensify when the water is clean, and be more green/brown when left in brackish water. The Blue Lobsters color intensifies as the crayfish matures.
- Red claw lobsters are scavengers. They are a bottom dweller and will eat anything they come across, as they are opportunistic eaters. They will eat all of the left over food your fish miss, as well as detritus and other waste off the bottom of your aquarium. Although this lobster will eat dead or dying fish as well, it is normally too slow to catch healthy fish.
- Red Claw crayfish are easy and fun to raise in your tropical aquarium as unique pets. The redclaw is a valued aquarium species with their exotic coloration. They are less aggressive than most crayfish, and reproduce rapidly and easily
