Shyla8 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah looks like a Mantis shrimp. You'll wanna get that out of the tank. Link to comment
wolfador Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 looks like a Mantis, you can probably sell it to your LFS if you don't want to keep it. Link to comment
castiel Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Unless you want to keep a mantis shrimp (some people love them!), yes, catch and return to LFS. Link to comment

metrokat Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 since you just got the rock you could remove the entire piece and put in a QT or clean bucket with tank water heater and air. kind of like how you do a water change setup. then try to lure the critter out with a piece of shrimp on a skewer or something. get a positve ID then decide what you want to do. please dont kill.
