Everybody's right here. It just depends on where you're from. Off the Florida coast we called them "spiney's".
Strait off Wikipedia: Spiny lobsters, also known as langouste or rock lobsters are a family (Palinuridae) of about 45 species of achelate crustaceans, in the Decapoda Reptantia. Spiny lobsters are also (especially in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) sometimes called CRAYFISH, SEA CRAYFISH or CRAWFISH, terms which elsewhere are reserved for freshwater crayfish.
its a LOBSTER! i live in hawaii i was born here and have caught many lobsters and crayfish and prawns. not all lobsters have big pincers but lobsters only live in salt water and crayfish only in fresh water and dont get a big as lobsters.
That's not a crayfish; they're called spiny lobsters where I live. The don't have pincers. And the argument that it's a crayfish because it has no pincers doesn't hold, since... um... crayfish have pincers.
As posted previously, this species is Palinurus Elephas (Latin Name) and is called Crayfish, Cray or Crawfish in Ireland and the UK. Cray are found off the western coasts of Ireland, the UK, France, Spain and Portugal. They are also found in the Med where they are fished extensively. They are not to be confused with the European Lobster (Homarus Gammarus) which is clawed.
@Ctrandance1 actually its called crawfish and is found in the carribean.......we dont get lobsters...lobsters have big meaty claws...crawfish have narrow claws that look like their legs and they are spotted with orange, red and brown 2 camo with the coral

They are also found in the Med where they are fished extensively. They are not to be confused with the European Lobster (Homarus Gammarus) which is clawed. Cray are rarely found inshore in Ireland but they can still be found in large numbers on offshore reefs along with lobster! Nice video clip of a big cray!!
Sorry man, but I DID see one that big, and so did everyone else diving with me that night.
I also just got back from a trip to Belize where I went lobster fishing with a professional there and asked him what the biggest one he ever caught was and he confirmed that he caught one that was over 5.5 feet long once.
So, yes, they DO get that big. Spiny Lobster, look them up.
look on website about dott com, says record caught was 4 feet long, and that was a maine lobster, a diff species:
The world record lobster was caught in 1977 in Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing in at 44 pounds, 6 ounces, measuring nearly four feet long. A 42-pound lobster taken in 1935 now proudly resides in the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts.
That video "Lobster or Alien?" was cool, but the lobster in it was TINY compared to how big they can get. They can literally grow to six feet; I have seen it with my own eyes. Carapice as big around as a heavy duty telephone pole!
it doesnt have claws u dumb fuck there little pincers, its also in salt water, its color is different and theres no possible fucking way its a crayfish, especially not 6 foot, stop replying to my comments, im right ur wrong get over it bitch
This is a cray fish of the Scottish variety, they are comercially caught using tangle nets and are highly valuable (£30/kg). They can get up to nearly 4 kg so not many needed to make a good days fishing! However they are more elusive than bin laden and as predictable as scottish weather.
Respond to this video... The Gulf Stream carries warm water to the west coast of England and Ireland and along wit it comes warm water creatures such a spiny lobsters. Even palm trees grow on the coast of Southwestern England
um..... this isnt a crayfish! It is a lobster! I am Asian (not telling which country I'm from) and I've been to some of the most famous aquariums in all of Asia, and the lobster looked exactly like this! They have no claws! Just very thin claws, and have long strong powerful antennaes! It is a lobster! The one I saw was from an advanced aquarium, so I AM NOT WRONG ABOUT THIS! IT IS A LOBSTER!!!!!!!!!!!1
Now don't get me wrong - I'm no specialist, and I'm sure Crayfish ARE a kind of lobster, but in the UK, lobsters are very different - both in looks and behaviour....
@GrahamGowland cray fish are the much smaller freshwater variant of lobster. down in australia they are called yabbies but it is not a crayfish i do believe that was a rock lobster
this is a southern rock lobster not the ones that the americans have with the big claws there just lobster you are half right in australia we call em crays or crayfish
I have heard spinny lobster growing to 6 feet from old divers in San Diego, Calfiornia Spinny Lobster can get huge in the old days, but now you barely find legal size one.

Found an official site that said they can grow to at least 3 feet, and I guarantee you they grow to at least almost twice that.
This is the Spiny, or Carribean, Lobster, mind you. Different than the ones in the northeast or the ones in California.

The difference is that crays live in fresh water and resemble lobsters.
A lobster is a large marine crustacean with a cylindrical body, stalked eyes, and and the first of its 5pairs of limbs modified as "claws"
Yet people still call lobsters crayfish.
