Big Old Hardshell Lobster Pic Submitted to The GMG Flickr Group By Shawn Cromwell

See how the bottom tips of the claws are black?  That means this lobster has been hanging out for a while in one place hardening up.  If the bottom tips of the claws are white it’s because they have been on the move and have scraped off the veneer of the shell on the oceans rocky bottom exposing a whitish hue on the bottom of its claws.

See whe don’t always work blue here.  Occasionally if you stick around you might learn a thing or two.
