Spiny Lobster is a general name given to about four dozen species of clawless lobster found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide, and in cold waters of the Southern Hemisphere. In addition to the lack of claws, spiny lobster is distinguished from American lobster by the sharp, short spines along the length of the tail and body. Spiny lobsters are beautifully marked with bright green, blue and yellow spots on an orange or brown shell. The term "rock lobster" is interchangeable with "spiny lobster".
