I can't even see it now but I will add iodine in the tank to normal dosing level.
It went hiding in the jungle of cheato and macro-algae.
I have some fish roe (caplan eggs) that remain quite a long time in the tank without fooling, would it eat that?
Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

With the smaller g.childi, take like a skewer with a small piece of shrimp at the end and see if it will come out and take it. or just drop in a small piece of shrimp by its den, it will likely find it.
He will also feed on your pods in the tank.
Just make sure your iodine levels are good for it to molt and look out for shell disease on him.
Here is a good site that I learnt a lot about mantis shrimp from,
