kimura Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I just got some fiji LR from Jeff's exotics, which by the way was really nice:happy: I went to check on the other coral I got to see if it opened up, and I noticed this clear looking shrimp about 1/4" in size. It had a mantis look to it. I tried to get it out, but I ran into a rock. Later I seen it on its side or sometimes on its back moving its little legs underneath its tail, as if it were luring in something. Is that a mantis shrimp? I'm sorry I don't have any pic's, I'm not too sure if my camera will pick it up since it's soo small. Link to comment
FamousGuy Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 sounds like an amphipod to me, especially the "on the side" thing. If you hear clicking in the tank and things start dying then it's a mantis. I thought i had one, but it turned out to be a pistol shrimp Link to comment
groove machine Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I dont think you should worry, mantis are normally green just keep an eye on it and if it is get rid or set up a species tank for it, if i had the room id love too.. be lucky!! Link to comment
