This week Rocky our gorgeous female European Lobster moulted. This is because Lobsters along with many other Crustaceans have exoskeletons instead of skin and they must shed these from time to time in order to grow. We left the exoskeleton in the tank so Rocky could reabsorb some of the Calcium, as moulting is very energy intensive, as you can imagine! Hope you enjoy this video. Beth
