[twintrades]

Any one have a clue?? And yes i did drive 300miles round trip for it...... :hmm5::beer:
About 2 3/4 inches

Might be a mantis shrimp. Some consider them a pest. I could be wrong though

 

[young doz]

looks like G. Glaborus or Graphurus

300 miles id hope its a mantis. Im not going that far for just any ol shrimp.

 

[MantisO_o]

Oh, that's for sure a Mantis, however, not gonna try to identify it. Waits for Dr. Roy to chime in.

 

[twintrades]

I hope he does chime in.

My wife called me at work to tell me she tryed to feed it a peice of silverside, And it whacked it !! She wasnt so into having it. But now i really think she likes it.

are the meral's white with a dark ring around it? looks like it in the pic but your the one looking at it everyday lol

 

[twintrades]

Hes kinda shy now ( hadem for 2 days)

But from the pics i took it looks like the meral spot is orange with a larger blue ring around it. ?? Hard to tell.

 

[gozermantis]

hmm still look kinda white.. if yellow maybe a female glabrous like doz said..

I think I figured out where these come from. :lol: If you click on "Get New" or "Get Daily" at the top of the reefcentral page all the new threads come up no matter what forum they are in. That's all I can figure...I get a good laugh out of them though. It's funny in the reef discussion or new to the hobby forums that anytime something in someones tank dies or disappears someone chimes in that a mantis shrimp is involved.

 

[intrancewetrust]

well they ARE space aliens sent to take over the world so... makes sense they would be involved

 

[twintrades]

Ha this morning it killed a couple of the cuc. Oh well thats just replace able food.

 

[Thurge]

Looks like N.wenn to me (and before Dr.Roy corrects me it could also be N.bredini, they look the same).

 

[jolson10450]

looks exactly like my N. Wennerae. Mine started out yellow but then changed to red and is now back to yellow again with each molting. Where are you from and where did you go to get it? How much was it?

 

[Gonodactylus]

N. wennerae or N. bredini. You can't tell the difference from a photo.

[EaZy DuZ iT]

N. wennerae, I had one before, from what i remember it disliked light a lot.

 

[twintrades]

I thouht it was a wennerae. As for the light its under 2 watt per gallon compact. 50/50 bulb. THanks guys
