Not many Ausie species are here in the US. A US native, Superstitionia donensis is available and looks very similar. You might want to check them out. Here are a few of mine.

That because the crustacea are also Arthropods and related to scorpions. One BIG difference is that in scorpions the lower finger of the chela (claw) is moveable and in lobsters, crabs etc, the upper finger of the chela is moveable.
