Well the subject tells it all.........I got hit by my Mantis. I try to keep my hands out of the tank because I have been hit before, but one of my corals fell behind my rock work. I could not get the coral with the tongs, so I decided to go behind my live rock with my hand. BAD IDEA! I have been hit by my Mantis before, but not like this. He hit my ring finger just above my finger nail and he got a good shot in.

I feel bad for his prey.

what type is that? And does it really look like that in your lights?

According to Dr. Roy he is a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis. He is under PFO's 175w 13k. No supplement lighting.
