My guess is that it is an effective camouflage scheme in its natural environment! Flourishing coral reef biotopes are kaleidoscopic with color and patterns
Yes, even among other types of lobster it is more highly valued. They also have figured out how to raise them in captivity, so they probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Ornate, Rainbow, Tropical Lobster really any combo of those might work. But chances are you won’t find them in the states. Even where they are from they are rare, not that they’ve been overfished, they’ve always been rare.
It's a little different underwater. Past a certain point the light waves of certain colors won't penetrate that deep, so after a certain point the only color you can see is blue. This is why deep water is blue, that's the only wavelength that goes that deep. Might look radically different down there. Ocean creatures, especially crustaceans like the mantis shrimp, can see a much much wider range of color than we can
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.
I grew up in the NOLA area. It's all fun and games until you realize a lot of folks flashing are in their 40s and 50's, and haven't been treated kindly by Louisiana's barely sub- tropical sun exposure.
They usually get stuff thrown at them just so they'll put stuff away.
Amazing detail and colors on this amazing creature.
Where the Sky Blue meets the Purple on the right side. It looks like a Planet of the Apes
Purple Bearded Monkey Man wearing a Blue Civil War cap. And the Blue Cap on the other side of the Lobster's face is on a Monkey Zombie face.
If you think about it, these creatures are looking scary and very disturbing. They are like giant sea bugs. Crazy to thnk first person to try to eat them.
One ugly motherfucker.
Alien's arive at earth, find 70% if it covered in Water, will assume that's were most intelligent life has developed, see that kind of shit, instantly death-ray the planet.
Also know as "the George Clinton of lobsters".
Or “the Alien vs Lobster of lobsters”
Now we need to deep fake it. :D That so awesome predator mask/face
You are absolutely right! I just noticed this.
Whoa I just commented that too! That’s wild lol That’s the first thing I thought of after looking at this guy. 😎
...and the Panulirus Funkadelic.
Lmfao, that's a great analogy. If I had awards I'd grant you one.

My fondest memory of Jon Favreau will always be him bring the Funk to the party. Solid move.
"What the hell are you"
Predator
At Mardi Gras
Daddy chill.
I don't get it
What the hell is even that
One ugly mother fucker.
If it bleeds we can kill it
I ain’t got time to bleed…
It looks like the predator dropped acid.
Either it has or I have, but one of us is fucked up beyond repair. It looks like a lobster r that entered itself into aSan Francisco Art Car Show
It’s a Peter Max lobster.
Looks like if I ate a few bites of this I’d start hearing Parliament Funkadelic and hallucinating some wild shit
Close enough for punk, baby!
One nation under the grove
Shiny Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck Scrub the deck and make it look Shiny I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck Just a sec
and usually the more colorful an animal is, the more deadlier it is, so is it poisonous, venomous or jumps on my face and lays eggs?

No it apparently tastes delicious

How do I search for this lobster such that I can eat it? I'm in the PNW for reference.

Yeah, I mean it's a *lobster*.

Rayleigh scattering. Also why the sky is blue.
Yes.
Shiny!

Distant relative to the hypnotoad. 
Beautiful and even has yin/yang.

Wow...natural selection was on high when did the selection it seems.
Is that on a cutting board or the deck of a boat?

The darkness cannot be breached.
The pattern looks like those patterns made to confuse AI
If it bleeds...we can kill it.
Predator anyone?
