Default Picture of the Mantis I just removed from my tank
I just found a fairy large mantis shrimp in a piece of live rock I recently added. I was wondering where a couple of damsels had dissapeared to!

Hes about 2 1/4" and fairly red (as opposed to the mostly grey/green ones I've seen).



Glad I got him out of my tank before he did much more damage!

how are you peoples so lucky with all your hitchhikers in your rock? I only got 1 crab. I read of people getting a goby every once in a while, that would be awesome!

My buddy got a rather large Lawnmower Blenny as a hitch-hiker.

Then you should have purchased artificial rock. Wish you were closer and I would come and get that mantis from you.

I was lucky, he was taking up residence in one of my pieces of live rock right at the top of the tank and it was easily removed!
