Lhewie Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Sorry i got a new rock with a hole and found this sucker. Sorry its the closest i can get.. Is this dangerous?
Shyla8 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah looks like a Mantis shrimp. You'll wanna get that out of the tank.
wolfador Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 looks like a Mantis, you can probably sell it to your LFS if you don't want to keep it.
castiel Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Unless you want to keep a mantis shrimp (some people love them!), yes, catch and return to LFS.

BLoCkCliMbeR Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Are they dangerous to have? idk how big is it? a large one could probably take down a small dog or house cat.
Lhewie Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 Its really small... i dont even know how i can take it out the small hole.. PS: I just took it out, i will take a photo now
castiel Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 a large one could probably take down a small dog or house cat. Haha now don't scare them.
metrokat Posted September 19, 2011 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.

pablom617 Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Set up a small tank (Like a picotope) with just a little liverock, light and powerhead and keep it!
Zoafreak Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 ha yes it is a juvie for sure. look at it's colors and it's body, head and tail don't look fully developed
