Lobster bercapit jangan dibingungkan dengan [[lobster spiny]], yang tidak memiliki capit (''chelae'') dan tidak berhubungan dekat. Hubungan terdekat dari lobster bercapit adalah [[lobster reef]] ''Enoplometopus'' dan tiga keluarga dari [[crayfish]] air tawar.

Smaller varieties are sometimes called "lobsterettes". Lobsters are [[invertebrate]]s, and have a tough [[exoskeleton]], which protects them. Like all [[arthropod]]s, lobsters must [[molt]] in order to grow, leaving them vulnerable during this time. Lobsters are considered a food [[delicacy]] around the world. In [[Europe]], they are extremely expensive; in some parts of [[North America]], much less so.
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.
Although many studies suggested that lobsters are primarily [[scavengers]], feeding on [[mollusc]]s and decaying animal matter, recent studies have shown that they primarily feed on live [[fish]], dig for [[clam]]s, [[sea urchin]]s, and feed on [[algae]] and [[Zostera|eel-grass]]. They occasionally eat other lobsters, too. An average adult lobster is about 230 [[millimetre|mm]] (9 [[inch]]es) long and weighs 700 to 900 [[gramme|g]] (1.5 to 2 [[Pound (weight)|pound]]s). Lobsters grow throughout their lives, though, and are long-lived. They can thus reach impressive sizes. According to the [[Guinness World Records]], the largest lobster was caught in [[Nova Scotia]], [[Canada]] and weighed 20.14 [[kilogram|kg]] (44.4 lb).
The environmental conditions of the lobsters can vary from ocean to ocean, but the lobster's temperature environment does not fluctuate much since their home is a large mass of water, the ocean.
Like all arthropods, lobsters are largely bilaterally symmetrical; clawed lobsters often possess unequal, specialized claws, like the [[king crab]]. The anatomy of the lobster includes the [[cephalothorax]] which is the head fused with the [[thorax]], both of which are covered by the [[Carapace|carapace]], and the abdomen. The lobster's head consists of [[Antenna (biology)|antennae]], antennules, [[mandible]]s, the first and second [[maxilla]]e, and the first, second, and third [[maxilliped]]s. Because a lobster lives in a murky environment at the bottom of the ocean, its vision is poor and it mostly uses its antennae as sensors. The abdomen of the lobster includes [[decapod anatomy|swimmerets]] and its tail is composed of [[uropod]]s and the [[telson]].
