Aside from the spear looking claw, I have a close up image of the eye and it is exactly the same.. Looks like the eye of a fly. Mantis shrimp have linear markings in the eye... What a relief thank you.

Steved13, thanks for pointing me to a pod. I just google salt water pods and I found this image and this is what I have in my sump. Mine are tiny so I am going to assume as they mature they will look more like the image below. I don't have a refugium, but I have enough mud in this section of the...

I have a great image of the antennas it has 4, you are right about the eyes not protruding. This specimen is about the size of a hair folicle on your finger length wise. It may be to young to fully determine the anatomy. However I am keeping them alive in my sump so in a week or two I will check...

So they have shrunken a little from the original photos... I will repost some photos from inside later this evening when the lights have been...

I will try to take a macro photo of them underwater from inside the tank. I can't promise a great shot but definitely a closer one. I have been in the hobby a long time now and I have never seen this before. Can't tell if they move much; however, they do shrink when the lights are off. Sent...

Does anyone know what these little white dots are on the rock? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Cool

So I bought my rose anemone The same size of yours and 5 month later it got so big I had to get rid of it. It stretched out so far it would burn everything around it. Very aggressive, sold it back to the store. They sold it the same day. Here's a pic.
