I am happy to give any critter a home. They interrest me a lot. And I already have tons of rock. So no sweet hitchhikers for me:-(

Mantis shrimp are very cool, but they're not safe for anything.

Wiz · May 8, 2016

That's what makes them cool. Apex predator! :-D awesome

There's probably quite a few people who'd want those mantis.

Mantis shrimp are cool and all, but I love hermit crabs too much to ever keep one.

Mantis shrimp people tell me they can brake your aquarium glass if this is true why would someone want this

It is possible however very unlikely. It's like asking why would you want a 200 gallon fish tank if it can leak all over your house. Because they're awesome!!!!!

Believe it or not i caught the mantis with a small net and a stick. If you im gonna try to catch the other one if you want both or just send this one if you only want one. Hes about 2 inches hes pretty small

Up to you. I will take any that are unwanted. Just let me know shipping cost and I will reimburse you.

It is a Pederson's anemone shrimp. The mantis will eat him for sure. I would try to catch the new shrimp and take to to your LFS to get a little bit of credit versus it becoming an expensive snack

All the plus, nail on the head.

I'm confused. Are we talking about the mantis or the other one?

It's not a pederson shrimp, they are much smaller and have a different body shape and color pattern. It's a Spotted Cleaner Shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus).
