Jay Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Check this out. Its like the second creature in the video so you have to watch mabey 2 minuts b4 it comes on. I still have the mantis shrimp in my tank. I need to get a trap for him. Sucker beating on my snails daily. I can always depend on him bashing them at supper time My tank is next to the dinner table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Great video Jay! Thanks for posting. It's really amazing to see how fast and with how much force those shrimp can strike. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanareef Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 They are some awesome creatures. The other one with the "spear" is another one to look out for in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have a picture of my clownfish after it got a taste of the mantis shrimp. I will try to find it and post it. I have about 1.5 bazillion photos and are only part organized. I started organizing them a few weeks ago but its soooooo boring. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 So how do these shrimp make it into tanks? I have seen them before in stores for sale, but aren't they a nuisance or hijaker? Or are there 2 different types? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
