snapped some pictures of my peacock mantis today

[MantisBrad]

I figured I'd try to get some better pictures of him while feeding him a hermit crab. I feel proud, I think some of these pictures came out very nice.

Here is a picture of one of my new frags. I believe it is called a blastamussa <sp?> It's still opening up.

Here is my hammer coral, it's doing nicely.

Nice lookin skrimp you got there!

How about a full shot of the tank?

 

[NanoReefWanabe]

very pretty shrimp...any action shots of him tearing the shell or the crab appart?

also the first coral pic looks a lot like a zoanthid...but i guess it could be a blasto..

 

[craiglanda]

looks like a blastomussa merletti to me...Nice mantis and Blastos are always nice

Those are some great shots. How long has it been since the last molt?

 

[MantisBrad]

I'm not sure man... I don't think it has molted since I got it and I have had it since early November... He's been acting normal and very active and healthy but I just don't know when he's gonna molt..

that is an absolutely beautiful mantis shrimp!!

nice pics too!!

so does the mantis not bother the frags?

and what sized tank do you keep it in?
