there are many different specie of mantis shrimp. some will stay relatively small.
it's probably a smasher, which they mainly feed on inverts. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthrop...html#directory

Eunicid worms may have a bit of a burrow like that, but they mostly use slime (or something like that) to line some sand to make tunnels in the sand, and they use holes in the rock. Look after lights out with a red flashlight. If you feed the tank a bit just before you look that should help entice whatever it is out.

easy way to find out.... get some food and some tongs and camp out infront of the hole. if it's a fish it should come out, all my pistol shrimps have come out as well.. and the mantis's at the store come running! lol so ya.. in short, try feeding the area!

Red light works for checking stuff out. I found my pistol that way. It made burrows like your describing and i found shells around it too.

I need to add... I have never found a molt of either a shrimp or crab. I assume over time you should find the molt of something if it is there?

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.

Green....dark almost army green? Chiragra, most likely. Not very interactive. Let me know if you want to get rid of him. (as in I'd take him because I'm addicted, not because he's really that cool. lol  ) Typically, they only come out when fed, but he WILL take out something if he's hungry.As for smashed shells, sometimes they just smash what's in it, and pull it out of the untouched shell.

If I have a smasher... would it not be "smashing" the shells to get at the goods inside? Not a single shell is busted open.
