Mantis shrimp needs home

[dimitri92]

I have a Smasher Mantis Shrimp – Neogonodactylus Wennerae that I received as a hitchhiker on my rock from Tampa bay saltwater. Looking for someone who wants to take it off my hands for free. If you have any cool zoas I’d gladly take one polyp for this little guy but it is not necessary.

It’s small about 1 inch in length

Put him in your sump. Every sump needs a sump lord

 

[dimitri92]

He was in there punching the glass nonstop. So I put him in mantis jail(tall food container with a lid onand holes drilled everywhere).

 

[dimitri92]

Did you find a home for it?

No not yet.

Hi there, if he still needs a home I would be happy to take him off your hands...

@TangerineSpeedo Thought of you?

 

[dimitri92]

He is still In my sump, I’d love to find him a home. I feed him once a week. But I bet he’d be happier with a tank of his own and more frequent feedings. @TangerineSpeedo @Medic916 @neonreef3d

I thought you would have gotten rid of it by now. Where do you live? Let me also do some research as to its needs, to see if it can fit into one of my tanks.

I have a 10 gallon sitting unused. HOB filter ready to go. I get it a deep sand bed and some rock. Ill pay shipping. Lets go. The wife wanted one for a while. Our tiger pistol just passed and she misses her shrimp.

 

[reefermadnes5]

Im in az. Shipping from you to me overnight probably $40. I can set up the habitat to cycle tonight. This will also make it easier to tell the wife im not replacing the tiger.

Sorry for the late response. If you haven't rehomed him yet, I plan on getting a yellow watchman goby soon and I think they'll end up being good buddies, hopefully keeping him away from the glass... hopefully. lol
