Free Mantis Shrimp

[furforfour]

I recently found a very small mantis shrimp in my tank after adding some new live rock. I dont know how large it is exactly because I only have seen its head sticking out of holes in rocks, but I would guess that it is about 1/4" to 3/8" long. I just found it sticking its head out of a small zoanthid rock so I put it down in my refugium in a tupperware container until it comes out of the rock. I live downtown Indianapolis near IUPUI if anyone would like to pick it up or we could arrange to meet somewhere. Call or reply if interested - 317-626-4139

I might be interested. Do you, by any chance, know what species it is?

I dont know what species it is. I have only seen its head really, but once it comes out of the rock I should be able to identify it. I'll post when I find out.
