Eunephrops luckhursti

Eunephrops luckhursti is a deep-sea lobster with large chelae (claws) and a carapace covered in small tubercles, which are more pronounced towards the front of the body. Its rostrum extends past its antennular peduncle, and is very smooth with very few serrations. It has short scaphocerites (antennal scales), and the abdominal segments have a distinct ridge along the top and sharply pointed sides. The claws are large and extend forward past the head and are covered in tubercles. The carapace and claws are red in color, while the legs may appear pink or translucent. Only a small number of species have ever been collected, with the largest observed reaching 170mm in total length.

Eunephrops luckhursti has only been observed in the waters surrounding Bermuda in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean. it is a deep-water species, living on muddy bottoms at depths of 800–824 metres (2,625–2,703 ft). The ecology of Eunephrops luckhursti is not well documented, and little information is available on its behavior or diet. However, studies of similar deep sea nephropid lobsters suggests that they are benthic predators and scavengers. They are likely opportunistic feeders that feed on a wide variety of prey like crustaceans, fish, and other organic material.
