How much does your purple losbster cost? I saw one at my local pet shop and was thinking about getting him for my 75 to do the algae clean up but he is damn expensive just for a lobster. He cost about $23, I could get a huge lobster for a meal for that price.

I was thinking of the little purple debelius lobsters, but it does sound more like a juvie blue spiny. ...

Lobsters - might be in there. No lobster is going to be much good for algae control in my opinion.

I personally like urchins for algae control for the more aggressive tank, or actually for most tanks in general rather than loads of itty bitty snails and pesky hermits
