Got the little bugger!!
Dooh! Just bought a 5 1/2 gallon today for the little sucker! Thanks for the offer tho Brad :D
Tony, I am 99% sure that I got this one in on a piece of Bali live rock (like Adam said) from a large chain-type aquatics store on the lower mainland. ;) I got the LR quite a while ago, maybe 6 months or more, and that clicking sound I always heard made me wonder if I had a mantis. I was hoping it was a pistol shrimp, but then I saw it draging the carcass of it's latest kill into the rocks where it lived and I knew! :mad:
This guy has killed at least three fish that I am pretty sure of, along with uncounted snails and an emerald crab or two.
Anyways, the mantis is in his new home, peeking out from the $40 of live rock :eek: that I got in there.
I'm gonna fatten him up and see how it grows, or if it changes colors at all.
Cool! A little nano-mantis reef! :cool:
