Fun fact: Spiny lobsters like Panulirus ornatus here are actually better at defending themselves against predators than lobsters with claws. They use their spines and long antennae (which are also covered in spines) as weapons and will even use their tails to drive the antennae into the eyes of their attackers. Big ones are formidable, even for human divers.
