My NEW new mantis shrimp :)

hahaha you're lucky he didnt decide to extend his dactyls to use the stabbing part... that woulda made you bleed pretty fast.

all the cuc that goes into trogdor's tank is known as the "walking dead". i have one turbo in there who has survived the entire time but he too has war wounds around the edges of his shell. i call him "shaun of the dead"
 
:D Fun aren't they. I have been hit enough by Squirtle that if I accidently brush against something unexpectedly, I jerk my hand out of the tank. Usually smashing it into the kitchen cupboard the tank is under. I definately wouldn't recommend hand feeding this one, thats how I got stabbed. Even my G. chiagra is less aggressive when it comes to taking krill. Crabs are another story though. Squrit will ponder before he goes out and attacks, and will take his time in destroying the invader. Hairy on the other hand will CHARGE out after a crab landing lefts and rights as fast as he can get them recocked. Its like "Dactyls of Fury."
 
Mantis: 1....Turbo Snails: 0

The turbo is comepletely cleanded out. I can't beielve this thing got it! It looks like it has been pestering a poor bumble bee snail all day too. Funny thing about it is that I have had these two small/medium hermits it wont touch. One is a scarlet and the other a baja red leg. I need to get some more of those suckers. Maybe it will actually let them live and clean. I am fresh outta ideas since the turbo isnt safe! Oh, and I think I am missing a few zoa polyps. Grrrr!!!
 
Sea Hair is a bid idea. Squirtle killed the one I tried in short order, then kept the body under all the tonga branch and feasted for days.
