FS/T Baby Peacock Mantis

[slavearm]

So maybe I am just good with mantis shrimp. I just captured a 1-1.5" baby peacock mantis.

The larger 3" one managed to escape my sump specimin container. Once I find him, he will be up as well. I have decided not to keep these creatures.

I am not really looking for money, but if you have a nice SPS frag I would be happy to trade the mantis. That being said, if you don't have a frag, but want the mantis, a small donation so I can buy a frag a RAP would be nice. If you don't have money or a frag, but a nice home for the little guy, I would be happy to part with him as well.

Side note, it appears there may be 1-2 more of these mantis shrimp running in my display still. I know I just saw one about an hour ago dart into a rock. IT was about the same size as the baby.

Thanks,

Shane

Where did all of them come from?

 

[slavearm]

My display tank. Been there for over a year. I have recently become adept at catching them.

 

[JenDub]

Did they ride in on rock? coral? Just curious where/how they made their way into the tank....

Hey Slavearm.
one would be cool for a desktop nano I'm planning for my work office.
$ in trade at RAP III ?

I'd be intererested for my nanotank. Let me know how much do you want to sell it for. Thanks.

Sharkdude... I owe you one. You just have to teach me how to cull back the wild anthelia you gave me about a year ago... it is going nutz! If you decide not to take it, I have a few other people wanting it. When I catch the larger one I will offer it up as well.

Here is the queue (by PM order) for the 1.5"

1. Sharkdude
2. Riotj
3. gps


I will not ship this small one, but if I catch the larger bastage (currently hiding in my Fuge) I will be happy to ship that one. He is impossible to kill.

3" queue

1. Bennyinca (offered me a nice SPS frag)
2. Anyone on the 1.5" list.


Jen: The mantis came in on my live rock and survived one of the worst cycles I have ever seen. 4ppm ammonia and the sucker didn't die.

Wow! What type of live rock? That's pretty crazy that you got that many!
