Meet Ophelia
So this is my new mantis shrimp that I've had for almost 2 weeks. I had to do some rearranging of my 'fuge so I pulled her(?) out for some pictures. She's living in my Refugium until I can get a new tank setup.
     Here are some Macro shots. (best I could get)     From what I've seen around the net I think she might be a Haptosquilla stoliura? She's doing great and eating well and things are looking good. I saved my favorite pic for last:

Nice pics, but I'm guessing that your "Refugium" is not much of a refuge for your other creatures anymore

Thanks for all the nice comments!
She came from Big Al's in Calgary. And yeah, being sent to the refugium is more like a death sentence for any of my critters right now. (she's in there alone however) I'm in the process of getting a custom tank for her. Originally she was suppose to be a peacock but.. well she's not. I'm still looking at getting small peacock as that's what I really wanted in the first place but Ophelia here is cool as well. If I manage to find a peacock soon I'll probably give her up to my bro-inlaw. Unless ofcourse I get too attached.. then she'll stay with me and live with the macro-algae in my 'fuge. I have a another tank setup and running that I can easily use for a 'refugium' if need be. So I'm not all that worried about having a predator such as this in my current 'fuge.
