Albertan are you sure it isn't a pistol shrimp? Have you actually seen the little guy before? I keep my duncans right off of the sand on a piece of live rock and they tend to do really well (I target feed allot) but I know that Ric's have a really nasty sting so that and the epoxy has probably ****ed them off. Although you can epoxy them I find that because duncans have tissue coming up the stalk (As shown below):



That using super glue on the base of the skeleton works the best, this way you don't have any necrosis that takes off due to smothered tissue. Hope he pulls through, keep the target feeding up.

Target feeding seems to have worked I gave each polyp a PE mysis shrimp last night and today they're open and looking pleased as can be! Thanks for the advice guys. In regards to the mantis, I did see the guy once (and only once), in a crevis in the rock beating a new burrow, pretty positive it's a mantis. That's assuming that the clicking is the same critter that was making the noise pre-tank tear down per my earlier story.
