peacock? i've only seen picts in the mantis forum, but that would be my best guess.

Looks like a peacock mantis shrimp to me (Odontodactylus scyllarus).

Try to find Tiga boy's thread on his nano mantis tank. It should be in either the nano or mantis forum. It has video's of the mantis in action.

i dont think it is a peacock but I dont know much about them. all i know is that i had one and it took months to get him out. they are very clever

he's in his own seperate tank
so it's not a problem
