Well all but one jellyfish has disapeared. The one that has stayed has planted himself on a piece of live rock and become like a cone shape for the time being. It's growing rapidly and is now almost 3cm across. Unfortunately I can't take pics of it right now. I need a new cam. The mantis shrimp I have put into a coral tank with about 1" live sand and 3" lava rock on top for hiding places. The mother mantis is in the tank with the babies and all is good. they show themselves once in a while but mainly stay hidden in the daytime. They don't hunt my corals just my fish so I'm keeping all my fish out of the coral tank.

The best guess at this point is that they are a Odontodactylus scyllarus - peacock mantis shrimp.
