mantis or not

[reefburnaby]

Hi,

In general, mantis shrimps are bad since they can kill fish and smash snail shells. It took me 2 years to capture mine. I broke my tank down to capture him. At 3 inches in length, it killed quite a few fish.

However, you may have a more common relative of the mantis shrimp, the pistol shrimp. Those are harmless from my readings.
