finnaly caught my hitchhiking mantis ^_^

Hello today was the day... after p.e.t bottle traps and hours infront of the tank... the time was right to remove some rock. His hiding hole wasn’t too buried and it was soon time for a F.W dip. He had a hard rock type cover jammed into the entrance of his hole... so after poking that in he quick vacated the rock, which was almost completely hollowed out I quickly transferred him to some S.W and now he is clinging to a tiny piece of rock which broke off when I picked up my tanks rock...

About to ring the LFS to see of they want to take him off my hands... if I had the money I would get a smaller tank just for him ^_^

Maybe someone could Id it for me... maybe a better photo is required so no pressure ^_^

Anyways that ends the tale of the clicker in the night!!

BTW his trail of destruction includes 4 hermits and 3 snails...

Any idea where the live rock was from? That would help with ID. A pic from the underside or front showing the raptorial appendages would be useful, as would one with a flash.

Well... no idea where the rock is from... and bout more pics, hes now moved on to a better place... umm maby my tanks better than the lfs but anyways ^_^ yeah hes gone to find a new home.. But not before I could check his big hitting punches firsthand... im not stupid enough to use my fingers as targets but a small piece of dowel made a great substitute... He sure packed a punch...
