WTB: mantis shrimp!

[odangdiggity]

Harder and harder to find a mantis shrimp in the LfS. I've been calling and waiting to see if anyone had one in stock so far no luck . I'm looking for a green or yellow mantis shrimp to house in my 12g. If you have any smasher hitchhikers I'd love to take it off your hands. I'm located around Orange County!

[m0nkie]

they eat everything they can catch

Oceans Tropical in Mission Viejo had one a week or two ago. Not sure if still there. Call and check. Dave is usually cool about picking things up for customers if you ask him to.

I went to a few local fish stores they said it’s harder to get them now. I work right next to tong but she hasn’t found any for sale yet.

I have this guy sitting in a bag although I'm down in San Diego and haven't checked on him in a few days... might not be alive anymore. Wasn't sure what to do with him.

EDIT: lol reef central blocks link and mentions of "reef | 2 | reef" ? how petty, you'll have to fill in the link yourself I guess

They always had a few in Ultragem in Burbank whenever I dropped by.

BTW, anyone know why the site is making me login for every action I take, even if I just logged in?

I'll check when I get home later.
