I have the same thing in my tank.

It has been in my tank for over 4 years and I have never seen a thing. No shells or anything. AND on top of that... it started in my 20 gallon and moved with a rock into the new tank. I HAVE LOOKED LIKE MAD AND NEVER FIND A SOURCE. But guess what.... it just snapped again while I type ha ha!

I figure if it is a mantis... I would be having some sort of issues with loss of small fish or snails. I do have snail shells... but who does not lose a snail or a few?

I also assume after 4 years a mantis would have to be something of size as it would be obviously eating and growing.

As for pistol shrimp? Who knows.... still no shell traces.

Once in a while I see a "molt" that looks like a big pod.... so maybe thats my culprit.... perhaps a 1/2" molt.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
