URGENT -- Free BIG mantis shrimp in NJ

[Boogiechillin]

I received a sizable order from Tampa Bay Saltwater this evening that included a very lovely, ~3" mantis shrimp. I think it's a peacock mantis, but its colors are muted from shipping stress, so hard to tell. The mantis is being temporarily kept in a bucket as I have nowhere else to place it.

Please EMAIL me at dahling [at] tcnj.edu with your contact information if you are interested and willing to come pick it up this weekend. I am located in Pennington, close to Princeton and Trenton. If you have anything to swap for it, great, otherwise I'm just happy to see it go to someone who wants it.

Best,
Jason

Good luck finding a home for the little guy/girl. It is probably a wennerea or a brendini mantis as the are local to florida. Peacock aren't natives to that area.
