Honestly I can see it making sense. Lobsters are immortal. I'm not joking, this is a real thing - lobsters continue growing their entire life until they're too large to have enough energy to continue their moulting process and then they die of exhaustion. If their shell or energy consumption wasn't the limiting factor they'd theoretically live for hundreds or thousands of years. Lobsters do not weaken, slow, or become less fertile with age - they actually become more fertile.
We should all strive to be more crab or lobster-like
honestly if we spent trillions on lobster health research the same way we spend on humans, i am positive we would have found ways to stop the moulting process (which happens naturally in some cases anyway) and easily repair any damage to their shells that may ultimately lead to death. we could have thousand year old lobsters easily if we spent money on it.
There's a goofy 80s book where environmental terrorists create giant lobsters by helping them moult and then use them as power armor to fight... something, I don't remember it's been a long time.

What if lobsters evolved cooperative moulting behaviors?
