∙ 10y agoYes, but it's quite different from a mollusc's shell (snails, clams etc). A lobster's 'shell' is called the exoskeleton or carapace and is shed when the animal grows, just like that of insects and arachnids. A mollusc's shell grows along with the animal, in rings or windings, and is never shed at all.
