On the American lobster you might be familiar with, that has the large front claws (not the spiny lobster with the giant antenna but tiny claws) there is a larger claw and a smaller one. The bigger one is for crushing prey and has rounded bumps; the smaller is a cutter and has sharp inside edges used for holding and tearing prey.

What is a lobsters defence?
The primary defensive feature in lobsters would be their behavior - avoidance of predators; they hide in crags or bury themselves in silt, or otherwise hide. This is especially important after they shed. A mottling or other coloration effects help. When confronted, they can use their claws to attack, or implement a flight reflex called the caridoid escape reaction by compressing their tail (abdomen) to swim backwards. There are also social defence behaviors, where they can group to increase mutual safety.
What makes lobsters different from other fish?
Lobsters are not fish. Fish are part of the phylum Chordata, along with other backboned animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), and lobsters are arthropods (phylum Arthropoda :P), having no backbone and being completely unrelated (very much related to insects in fact). Lobsters have ten jointed legs and a hard carapace.
