I have a 3 inch long blue lobster in a 50 gallon tank with all peaceful fish but I want to get a Black Ghost Knife and I was wondering if the ghost knife would be quick enough to get out of the way considering they are mostly blind
 
Well firstly your tank is too small for a BGK and as for the lobster it'd be a risk...if there's a good place for the BGK to sleep out of reach for the lobster then they could survive together.
 
Both are nocturnal hunters so they shouldn't really cross paths just be sure they both have 2 seperate hiding places!!! And the bgk will eventually outgrow the tank. I've had those 2 in my 55 for a few months without incident between the 2 but the lobster had to go back after he went on a killing spree on my tetras and rope fish
