What does baby lobsters eat?

Answer 1

Smaller lobsters typically eat live food, consisting of fish, mollusks dried fish bits, other crustaceans, worms, and some plant life including plankton pellets for fish. Occasionally, they will scavenge if necessary.

Lobsters live on rocky, sandy, or muddy bottoms from the shoreline to beyond the edge of the continental shelf. They generally live singly in crevices or in burrows under rocks, so provide them plenty of hiding space, rocks and plants in the tank with a sandy bottom.

Answer 2

Likely this question is a query regarding their diet (what they feed upon) rather than what they feed (what they are a food source for, or for what other organisms they exhibit feeding behaviors, such as feeding their offspring). Certainly they feed humans since we go out of our way to harvest them as a tasty entree.

Lobsters have a reputation for being scavengers but as adults become mainly predators. They feed on crab, shellfish (mussels, clams, scallops), echinoderms (starfish, sea urchins), marine worms (nematodes, polychaetes), and gastropods. They also feed on dead organisms that they come across. Very rarely do they eat algae and aquatic plants.

They are highly opportunistic and also have a reputation for being cannibalistic, although evidence for that is anecdotal.

When a lobster captures a prey, it carries it to its shelter to eat it.
