boodwah, I'll figure out today some methods for catching them and get back with you when you wake up. Can't wait to see this live rock you got.

All right, he is not blue. He is brown/rust colored. It must have been the lights. But the one guy was supposed to get him yesterday but I never heard from him. Caldwell had second dibs, I can't get hold of him. I have him in a 10 gallon tank with a piece of my LR. First to email me at wesgc@yahoo.com AND take him TODAY has him. He is 1.5 inches approx. Not sure of species, but it is a mantis shrimp. He was well fed until I isolated him. 1 sally lightfoot, assorted hermits, snails, and crabs in one week.
