mikep123 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I am looking for a home for a mantis shrimp. She is about a inch long bright green in color and came with some live rock I just put in my tank. Any one intersted let me know. Otherwise I will have to warm up some garlic sauce and try fried shrimp. Just kidding. But really, I need to get it out of my tank befor it gets any bigger.

mikep123 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 From the pictures I have seen on the internet this shrimp appears to be a peacock mantis. It is still a juvenile only a inch long and its coloration may change as it growes. I don't really know anything about them. This is the first one I have seen.

mikep123 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I want him but I'm in Florida till Thursday. Let me know when you get back. If nobody has by then you can. Also, I think there are two of them in my tank, unless they can change color the one I caught today is red and the one I saw last week was green.
