I got this guy on some gulf Live rock…. good guy or bad? keep or not? How big does it get ? it’s about 1” now
pistol or mantis.
Appreciate any replies…

Mantis Shrimp.

Thank you, I might just keep him

They are cool if you have the tank size for the species.
I suspected mine of killing a goby but other than that it just killed crabs

It will kill any other shrimp you put in the tank plus any small fish. I have had 1 for 2 years that came with my gulf rock. Trust me I know. I wish I could catch mine.

yeah that’s how I got this one; gulf rock…also got a few bad crabs I saved…maybe they all were meant for each other
