It's official Snydley Whiplash is his name

[dantodd]

OK, I posted a pic of my mantis and it was pointed out that he looks a little shifty. Well, Uriel recommended the name Snydley Whiplash. I don't usually name my aquarium inhabitants. He owns part of a 20L that he shares with 2 ocellaris and a bunch of coral. Yesterday I was going up the stairs and glanced up into his apartment. Well, all I could see was his butt. The rest of him was hanging over the overflow checking out the "Big House" on the other side of the acrylic divider. I couldn't get the camera in time to get a picture of him busting out but it was hilarious to watch. It was also about 20 minutes after I fed him a chunk of scallop and there are 3 or more astrea/hermits in his apratment so he wasn't hunting.

Clearly he is a shifty bugger and now his name is Snydley Whiplash.

LOL. Good name. Enjoy your mantis.

Hopefully none of your fish are named Nell...


He sort of looks like a mantis shrimp.
