Hitchhiker id #2 good worm / bad worm?

Maybe you can put it in with the mantis shrimp? You got a few oddballs!

These are under normal room lighting, in the tank they are stunning. Fluorescent pinks and oranges, some purple.

Really nice looking rock! Is the orange hard like coralline or soft like a sponge?

If keeping this Peacock mantis, set up a tank just for it alone providing a cave or two and hiding with rock structure
they eats snails, shrimp, anything shelled. Expect to hear alot of clicking from its hammers they use to break shells.

Very cool! What is Smasher having for dinner? Any spare live snails crabs or a piece of shrimp or fish?

I did put a few mysis in there but he has not come back out since scurrying under the rock.....probably still stressed from being in tupperware confinement all day.

Lol scurrying under a rock sounds like Smasher is behaving like a typical mantis! Toss a live snail in there and watch Smasher scurry out from the rock work!

Nah, I need my snails LOL! I have 4 turbos with the smallest about the size of 1 1/2 golf balls. I think they'd probably eat Smasher. They don't seem to ever stop eating. Or growing! Lol
