What do YOU call tiny river lobsters?

[ColtHandorf]

Huh, interesting! I swore they called them lobster but I’m not surprised at Petco mislabeling things I think they were in the fresh water section anyway now that I think about it.

Lobster is a marketing term. There are freshwater lobsters, but those are not them.

WTF

They are just sexy shrimp. I've never heard anyone call them sexy dancer shrimp, ever. In the history of all. They hang out with anemones, like anemonefish (clownfish and damsels) and are super tiny and cute. They wave their little butt in the air so I guess that's why they are sexy.

Crawfish in formal settings; mudbugs in less than formal settings.

Are crayfish formal?

It would work and be acceptable, but we'd know you're not from around here.
