Those shrimps look creepy yet cool at the same time! Very pretty colors!

yep they do look creepy but cool at the same time lol. it was interesting watching it make a burrow for itself, scooping sand from one spot to another.

Aw that sounds so cute! I'd love to see that! Get a video! I get amused very easily and love seeing little animal critters doing random things lol!

I love peacocks. I have one that looks like it. Kind of hoping it's not since I have it in a 10 gallon glass. Can't afford to upgrade to larger acrylic. It's been punching the glass too so I'm a bit nervous. C

they would kill every fish and snails, and crabs they wont touch the corals.

well its in my refugium with a bunch of xenias and thats it. but pretty much all mantis will kill fish and crustaceans if they are not smart enough to hide from it during the day
