Re: Differences between a female and male lobster?

Daniel ,the Females will have larger finlets on the underside of the tail that cross over each other,this is how they protect their eggs. The Males have smaller finlets which do not touch, and the have two sperm sacs just above the base of the tail . Once you see them both ,you can see the obvious differences. http://atsea.nmfs.hawaii.edu/photos/spinysex.htm
