For the underwater scene, you can color the ocean deep blue, the rocks gray, and the seaweed different shades of green.

What is a Lobster?
A lobster is a large crustacean that lives at the bottom of the ocean, hiding among rocks and seaweed. It has a hard shell, long antennae, a fan-shaped tail, and two strong claws, one for crushing and one for grabbing. Lobsters can live for a very long time, sometimes more than 50 years! They usually weigh between 1 and 4 kilograms, although some giant lobsters can be much heavier. Their shell feels rough and bumpy, helping protect them from predators. Lobsters communicate with each other by waving their antennae or tapping their claws. They eat small fish, crabs, and plants, using their strong claws to snap and grab their food. These fascinating creatures come out mostly at night to hunt and explore the seafloor, making them mysterious and exciting animals of the deep sea.
