I've not kept them before but spiny lobsters get big and would need a big tank, at least a 3x2x2. It may pose a threat to your fishes as there is likelihood of the lobster hunting your fishes. If you have big triggers or pufferfish in the FOWLR, they may eat the lobster.

if you manage to grow him big n fat, it will end up in your stomach

better to get bigger ones. sudden death can occur to young specimens when frightened. they are nocturnal and will out hunting at night with their two long wriskers. colour is brighter in young and will get dull when get older.
