Spotted Spiny Lobster (also known as Spanish Lobster)

Panulirus guttatus

Not seen as often as the larger Caribbean Spiny Lobster , they hide in recesses during the day coral reef openings whereas the spiny lobsters are found on the sea floor, under rock piles and enclosed overhangs. They grow to about 1.5 feet in length. Not what you are looking for? Try the Spanish Slipper Lobster
