SLIPPER LOBSTER
The slipper lobster
In the ph they are commonly called
Pitik pitik in Cebu
Kupapa in Surigao
Kupakpahon in Sorsogon
shovel nosed , mitten lobster....so many names but basically slipper lobster. They are slow moving lobsters cos their skeletal composition does not allow them to be as mobile as their counterparts and more popular lobsters.
They have flattened bodies and no large claws.
We found him/her down at the lobster cave in Dive and Trek Dive Sanctuary during our night dive because they are nocturnal and usually hide during daytime. They hunt at night.
They eat molluscs, including limpets, mussels and oysters as well as small shrimps, crabs, worms and sea urchins and get eaten by…humans, triggerfishes, groupers and octopuses.
They generate around July to August when the females carry around 100k eggs …orange eggs that turn to dark brown right about 16 days in total.
