Captured an incredibly deadly mantis shrimp

[plancton]

he was to dangerous to be left alive, here in Mexico I´ve never heard of people adopting mantis, and there´s an onlilne reef community large enough, not only that, but I use the fuge for acclimatation and I keep some rocks in the sump for my frags, He could have lived there and starved to death, but considering that I keep rocks that I use, he could get reintroduced to the main tank and cause havoc, or by miracle could go up the return pump and terrorize again.

So my choice was that he had lived long enough.

Hey, i am sure you had your reasons.

Hola plancton,

I also had to tear down my rockwork to get a mantis out of my tank. Hunting him down wasn't a picnic. A worthy opponent, I'd add. I kept the body as a trophy. He was very similar to the one in your picture:

Que bueno.

Honestly mantis shrimp are not in extinction, you can get about 5 per big rock, in asia they eat them.

ive heard mantis shrimp is delicious like a baby lobster...

Especially with butter

See, there you go plankton! You could have eaten the mantis and saved a cow, seeing as how it was going to be sacrificed anyways.................. options! :lol:

You should have sold it, they're expensive
