Okay so you know how at grocery stores and the like, all the lobsters have their claws rubber-banded shut? That's partly for the protection of staff, I imagine, but it's also because lobsters are super aggressive and will literally rip each other to pieces if they're put in high-density confined spaces like that with minimal topography. My exhibit isn't nearly as bad as a seafood counter tank, but it's still a small space with a limited number of hidey holes. So, to keep them from killing each other, we close their claws, but we use glue rather than elastic bands because it's a little less visually obtrusive. Sometimes, though, the glue breaks, so we have to pull them off exhibit, re-glue the claw, tape it shut, and keep them in a holding tank for a few days until the glue cures. Ergo - timeout to keep them from killing each other.

Both of my ImaNaru lobsters broke open their claws last week, because I swear to god these two actually can't do anything without the other one copying. It's bizarre. They even moulted at the same time.

Nary is missing the tip of his right claw because somehow Ima cut it off even though Ima was smaller and softer? Idk man.
