I know this isnt a peacock think its a cilita? I would get one of these also if he had one that looked like this one

Wow! That one's sweet! I read that P.ciliata often change color after several molt's based on their environment...so I'm gonna test that theory by placing red colored background around my yellow P.c. and see if I can get her to change orange like this one!

got my peacock today wow what a kool thing to watch. feeding it shrimp its allready eating but made a mess out of my tank my 1000$ worth of zoos are not to happy. it started making home first it snaped rock and coral to get it the way it wanted boy the force of its smasher scare me ask bodibuilt he seen it with his own eyes not lol. oh it watches my every move and all i hear is POPING NOISE ITS A SMASHER!

 

[kdblove_99]

Cameron,

I'm confused, Did you get a Peacock or a maculata?

I thought maculata. Like the link i posted. If that is true then it is not a smasher, It's a Spearer

It's sort of a greyish green on most of it's top with alot of bright red highlights in the face and under tail area. It seemed to have quite a personality too!

 

[kdblove_99]

[kdblove_99]

yeah those Neogonodactylus wennerae are awesome that is what that other was that i posted i asked billy.

he said like you before the wennerae will adapt to its surrondings so someone must have had some neon green around these 2. think i might grad one and put in my sump there is plenty of room and hiding places

 

[BodiBuilt]

[kdblove_99]

yeah just looked at Stomatopod.com and one the wennerae section it even says changes color based on habitat.

I really like the first 2 on there and they are only $15 each

 

[kdblove_99]

yea they are known to be called thumb splitters also
