Captured!

Here is the shrimpy thing that was in the rock! The seltzer trick worked like a charm!!!

Now, what is it?

Dentoid · 02-13-2008, 10:10 PM

Mantis shrimp!

AQTCJAK · 02-13-2008, 10:11 PM

agreed small little guy

vdituri · 02-13-2008, 10:12 PM

Don't hurt him.
Sell him.

Dentoid · 02-13-2008, 10:13 PM

He should get along with Gary real well!

vdituri · 02-13-2008, 10:15 PM

Gary has enough friends.
He doesn't need a friend in the mob named guido.

Royalscott · 02-13-2008, 10:16 PM

If he lives through the night in his new home (mason jar w/ salt water) I will take him to the LFS that sells mantis.

I guess I need to give Scott more credit. He swore to me that it was a mantis as soon as he saw the beady eyes moving around. This child is way too knowledgeable for a 10 year old.

Royalscott · 02-13-2008, 10:16 PM

Maybe Bob would like him LOL!

goldenmean · 02-13-2008, 10:18 PM

Wow!
You did have a mantis!
Good catch.
He is a cutie!

They are incredibly tough little buggers, just try not to let him freeze and I bet he'll be just fine. I rescued one from certain doom in the formaldehyde jar on a boat trip and he lived in a jar as big as he was for about 24 hours. I had him in a species tank at school until somebody snatched him

Nice catch. If you were closer I'd take him off your hands.

Royalscott · 02-14-2008, 02:38 PM

The little mantis is now living in a huge tank at the local reef store where I think he will be very happy.

Funny little fellow he was without any rock to hide in while he lived in the mason jar!

framerguy · 02-14-2008, 05:13 PM

I've never seen one that color. I'm glad you caught the little bugger!
