Pistol Shrimp

[Chefwheredyougo]

UPDATE: I was able to capture him with a baited piece of PVC pipe. I moved him over to a plastic bin with a rock and bio balls until I decide what to do with him. Although, tonight I got up and looked into my tank of the light and saw about six very small mantis shrimp. They are a little bit bigger than the other sand dwellers but big enough to identify. So I may put him back considering I am probably fighting a loosing battle.

Man, that's a dope problem to have! If you can get them all out, you can post them for sale and make some money!

For a small brown mantis shrimp? I figured they were worthless.

Crazy but they are cool as hell. I have one in my 125s sump that peeks out and likes to watch my 5 year old lol. Hes in one section and a stone crab that came in as well in the other. 5 year old has laid claim so they are here to stay lol.

Edit: On a side note, be carefull, I found by experience even the "tiny" guy pack a punch then I tried to pluck a .5" one up to move out of a net.

For the people who like them, a good healthy and active Mantis isn't worthless, it's priceless.
