Silly Mantis

Recommended Posts

I knew something was harassing my corals... and by harassing, I mean crawling all over them after dark.

 

By some stroke of luck he fell off the rock he hides in and decided to take cover between a shell and the glass. By another stroke of luck, I caught him with the net...

 

If you can look past the blurriness... does this look like a baby mantis, or a bog standard amphipod?

yea, after looking around I came to the same conclusion (see my edit above ;)). It moves amazingly fast though, and I've got tons of other pods in my tank... so I thought it was something special :(

 

eh well..

yup just a pod. If it were a baby mantis, at that size I don't think it would be chilling on the bottom. It would swim in the water column.
