Default Rays and lobsters

dear friends, i have a question pls:
i have 2 mid sized motoros in my setup. both are about 12inches in size. one male, one female. i also have a pair of lobsters in the same setup (just bought). lobsters are pretty much full grown, about 4-5 inches long. can i keep them together? seems like the rays are frightened of the lobsters ... thx.

Lobsters and fishes are rarely a good combination.

Lobsters will nearly always try every attempt to attack fishes that are slow and vulnerable, and meanwhile fishes will most likely attack a lobster that's moulting.

thx for all the input dudes.
from my observation ....
the rays and my lobster (one of the lobster, male, larger, seems to have disappeared!) seems to be co- habiting quite well. the rays going about their own business and so does the lobster. no adverse events yet.

interesting enough, my male ray is getting horny, and has inflicted a few "love bites" onto my female motoro.

will keep you guyz posted on the developments!

be careful if the female is smaller than the male....might be fatal...but if they are of the same size or fi female bigger, congrats!!!!

i got the rays from bro Ray2828, and have spoken with him re: possible love bites. but he thinks its unlikely, as they are still young. probably just fighting ....

i really dunno. but will keep my eye out.
also, the female is smaller than male, but only just. hope itll be ok.

i will keep you bros updated!
