Crustacean Rob lets out (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lobster

'crustacean' is the definition.
(I know that lobster is a type of decapod)

'rob lets out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'rob'+'lets'='roblets'
'roblets' with letters rearranged gives 'LOBSTER'.

(Other definitions for lobster that I've seen before include "Pincered crustacean, a delicacy" , "food?" , "Crustacean with pincer-like claws" , "one to loft a > shellfish?" , "One showing claws" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
