100% mantis from the second picture! Whatever he can catch is fair game for his supper so nope, I would say shrimp are NOT safe!

Yup, 100% mantis! Anything it can catch is a meal.

Yup...100% that is a mantis shrimp.

Put some food on the end of a stick and wave it around in front of that hole. Good fun and great pets. Much more interesting than shrimp.

I look at it this morning and found he put a door there. Will post picture tonight.
I am planning to setup a small tank for him.
