I've been so busy and broken!! Haha. That friggin guy is clacking his heart out about five feet (1.524 meters for the Chissits, Canucks, and other metric system-loving folks) from my bed. I was going to pull another rock today, but I worked until 8:30 and am terribly tuckered out. I'll keep y'all posted! Fingers crossed I pick the right rock tomorrow!

Don’t worry we have been busy too. That’s why only put a few entertaining posts here for you. Just imagine would have time we would have overflow you notifications panel by reacting to ever click of Manty.

And here I was looking forward to mantis being on the Thanksgiving menu. This is starting to feel like the reef version of "whack-a-mole"!

I was wondering when the gopher was coming out. No match for the mantis though

Someone want to check under the rocks? I think it killed Kitty.

He hasn't killed me yet! I've just been too busy and tired this week to move rocks and water around. The battle resumes TONIGHT!

Then you find out there were two when the clacking starts in the other tank. ;Blackeye

Hahaha, nope. I'm isolating one rock at a time in a bucket with a powerhead. I'm prepared for the two-shrimp possibility, but I don't think there is more than one.

So far Mr. Mantis is clearly winning this battle as evident by his persistent clacking at night which is his way of taunting Kitten and getting into the psyche of his opponent. He is basically saying Bring It, I'm down for the battle...
