Mantis Shrimp?

[pinocchio]

My tank has been up and running for some time now and today I saw what I think is a mantis shrimp. It’s totally possible it came with the rock and grew over time. He’s about 1 1/2 inches long. My tank has zoas/frammers/anemones. Should I remove him?

This is the best pic I could get.

That sure is a mantis

Great shot. Pretty sure that is what you think it is. As for what to do with it, I don't know, but I am curious as to the outcome.

Should I keep it in until I notice damage to corals?

He most likely will not damage or Corals most likely would only move them around possibly it’s your fish and inverts you need to worry about

But on a more serious question, I noticed the picture for your name has an orange banner with the letters OP I’ve been seeing this more lately. Do you know what it means?

The OP should mean original poster.

I may be wrong but I think it's so after you have scrolled down a ways you'll be aware that member is the original starter of the thread.
EDIT the I think it a new feature. Maybe Rev is testing to see how observant we are
I like the feature especially when I'm a few pages into the thread. It helps to stay focused on the OPs concerns questions etc. Not that threads ever go sideways

Ok I can see that but didn’t the thread starter have the words thread starter next to their name ?

So maybe they changed from that..
