Panulirus homarus is a species of spiny lobster that lives along the coasts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It lives in shallow water, and feeds on the brown mussel Perna perna. It typically grows to a length of 20–25 cm (7.9–9.8 in).

Inhabits shallow waters at depths between 1 and 90 m, mostly between 1 and 5 m; among rocks, often in the surf zone, sometimes in somewhat turbid water (Also Ref. 9773). It is gregarious and nocturnal (Refs. 4, 9773). Forms groups, taking shelter in and around rocks and crevices. Omnivorous scavenger with a preference for mussels.

Working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

is a reef dwelling species, most commonly associated with coastal fringing rocky reefs and inshore areas of rocky reefs (1-15 m). It is found at depths of 1 to 90 m. Juveniles and adults are omnivorous, feeding on small crustaceans, molluscs, worms and algae. It is a nocturnal animal.

May 25, 2017 · We used classical phylogenetic (maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference) and coalescent-based methods (divergence dating with fossil calibrations and coalescent-based species delimitation) to resolve the phylogeny of the spiny lobster Panulirus homarus subspecies complex in the Indo-West Pacific.

Abstract. This study examines the fine‐scale population genetic structure and phylogeography of the spiny lobster Panulirus homarus in the Western Indian Ocean. A seascape genetics approach was used to relate the observed genetic structure based on 21 microsatellite loci to ocean circulation patterns, and to determine the influence of latitude, sea surface temperature (SST), …

The nominotypical form (Panulirus h. homarus) is found throughout the range of the species; P. homarus megasculpta is only known from the northern Arabian Sea (Socotra, south coast of Arabia, perhaps west coast of India); P. h. rubellus inhabits S.E. Africa (Mozambique to Natal) and S.E. Madagascar.
