Cheers

hmmm the moray guy, are you on grimreefers as well? that penis shaped thing in your tank looks familiar....

I will back up StirCrazys answers. You almost have to shoot them with a super-duper-high-powered-commando-rifle to kill them.

. Unless you get a really sensative one.

I couldn't have put it any better than StirCrazy.

If you are meaning tank sizes small guys (3") can live in a 5 gallon. The larger ones like the Pecock Mantis (7") need a 20 gallon. GrimReefers is a great place. They eve have their own Mantis shrimp thread.

They have some links on their website too. They are really neat little guys. They watch you as much as you watch them. Hope that helps.
