Talk:Slipper lobster

Scyllarides nodifer
Scyllarides nodifer is a species common in Florida. It is sometimes called a "shovelnose lobster" instead of slipper lobster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.235.229.52 (talk) 00:45, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Sea Cicada
I think "sea cicada" is another common name, or at least a common translation from mediterranean languages (most propably by the French as cigales de mer).--92.118.191.48 (talk) 04:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

"Nisto" stage
This passing reference is mysterious as it stands. Isn't the "nisto" instar a defining part of the life cycle? M. Ito, The Complete Larval Development of the Scyllarid Lobster, 1990, might be a good reference.--Wetman (talk) 17:03, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Ecology: diet
Their predators are mentioned, but not a word about slipper lobster diet. Possibly it's been edited out, but I find this a common problem on animal pages. Can someone with appropriate knowledge/linkification sort this out, please? Centrepull (talk) 14:21, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

German Term
Evidently (some) German speakers call them Bear Crabs -- Bärenkrebsen. A friend found a machine translation that came up with "cancer" (evidently through the Zodiac sign of the Crab). So there's another name for them. 35.129.24.61 (talk) 17:06, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
