Another View of Lobster Molting With Slide Show
Got a few more pics of the lobster that molted in our tank. I sent them to the Maine Lobster Institute and they will be using them in their educational material.

Finnish Exchange Student Gets Unique Lobster Experience
My sister Felicia has been hosting a couple of talented Finnish tennis players. Yesterday when the lobster molting went down at the dock, they happened to stop by. They initially stopped by so I could take some pictures for their parents who read the blog in Finland to see where their kids are and what they are up to.
They were treated to a pretty cool experience with the lobster molting as I bet 99.99 percent of our own local kids have never experience a lobster molting before their eyes. Hell, I hardly ever see it and I’ve handled quite a few over the years.

Lobster Pulls Tail Out Of It’s Shell During Molting Process
Lobster Molting At The Dock Image 1
Notice the shell separate in a straight line at the top of the carapace. You can’t see it in this picture but the tail has already withdrawn from the shell. The live lobster is to the top in the picture and the half of it carapace shell is left at the bottom of the picture. The lobster is barely strong enough to move.
More pics to come and video is loading.
Lobster Molting Captured for Video Here at The Dock
It’s rare that a lobster will be landed, sit in our tanks over night and then in the morning go into the molting process.
It happened this morning and I captured it in pictures and video. It will take a bit to upload but look for it later.
