Time to Rehome the Mantis

[Rewd]

I posted this over in the live goods forum https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/free-wennerae-mantis-shrimp-possibly-2.1014344/

Just putting this out there for any NJ/PA mantis fans. It was a hitchiker from about a year and a half ago and he's been a pretty model citizen taking meaty foods right from my tongs most of the time. But I am also finding it difficult to control aptasia because my peppermints mysteriously go missing, 1 by 1. Anyway, just want to alert mantis fans that might be in the NJ/PA area that there is 1, possibly 2 up for grabs as I trap them.

Well, it only took about 5 minutes to catch him lol. He's absolutely gorgeous, I truly hate to rehome him but he's sumped for now. I'm surprised no one is interested

I am but I’m on the other side of the country

I lost mine. accidently sucked up in siphon and didn't realise. Down the drain. He was cool

 

[Rewd]

Oh man that sucks. I am honestly sad to rehome this guy. I keep thinking I should just say screw it and set up a nano but 3 tanks is enough already lol

Is there anyway you can get a better photo for an ID?

Doesn't look like a typical N. wennerae hitchhiker.

 

[Hadla]

Would you be willing to ship him?

I could send you a box and heat pack

 

[Hadla]

Oh nvm, just saw your other post that said no shipping

Yea sorry lol. I have someone local at the moment anyway. Thank you!
