Slipper lobster
Slipper lobsters are a family of decapod crustaceans found in all warm oceans and seas.They are true lobsters, but are more closely related to spiny lobsters and furry lobsters. Slipper lobsters are instantly recognisable by their enlarged antennae, which project forward from the head as wide plates. All the species are edible, and some, such as the Moreton Bay bug and the "Balmain bug" (''Ibacus peronii'') are of commercial importance.
==Description==
Slipper lobsters have six segments in their heads and eight segments in the thorax, which are collectively covered in a thick carapace. The six segments of the abdomen each bear a pair of pleopods, while the thoracic appendages are either walking legs or maxillipeds. The head segments bear various mouthparts and two pairs of antennae. The first antennae, or ''antennules'', are held on a long flexible stalk, and are used for sensing the environment. The second antennae are the slipper lobsters' most conspicuous feature, as they are expanded and flattened into large plates that extend horizontally forward from the animal's head.〔
There is considerable variation in size among species of slipper lobsters. The Mediterranean species ''Scyllarus pygmaeus'' is the smallest, growing to a maximum total length of , and rarely more than . The largest species, ''Scyllarides haanii'', may reach long.
