Hi everyone!

:hyper:

I have had a mantis shrimp for months since I first got my largest bit of live rock and it has killed just about everything in the tank that is smaller than it well I caught him and am giving him away to someone who collects them but first I took some photos

I kept one for a while, they're fantastic creatures, shame you can't keep it!
 
Wow, I finally understand why they're called "mantis" shrimp... lol
 
Man, If I ever got one of those in my live rock, I'd be setting up a species tank...
 
Its a Gonodactylus smithii

I managed to get him and a gorilla crab in the same piece of live rock lucky me... he killed the gorilla crab
 
do you still have it? I'll pay shipping, and some on top of that for your...... services. :hyper:
 
Wow, this thread has popped up...

I'm afraid and glad to say I got rid of him to an Australian collector, who was very very happy to get him :good:
