Royal Spiny Lobster - Panulirus regius

Plate from Résultats des Campagnes Scientifiques by Albert I,  Prince of Monaco (1848–1922). 

Albert I of Monaco (1848-1922) initially served in the navy. His real preference, however, was not the military, but the study of the oceans. In this area, he was able to achieve great success in the course of his life, for example, the then sensational perceived finding of a scaly deep-sea eelfish, which was named after his family as Lepidoteuthis grimaldii. Among other things, in 1889 he founded the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, which opened in 1910. 1911 was followed by the opening of the Institut Océanographique in Paris (now Maison des Océans). He set up the Exotic Garden in Monaco and founded an anthropological museum. In 1910 he became an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg.
