new hitchhiker

well my tank has been up and running for a year now. last night spotted my newest hitchhiker addition. a mantis shrimp. im thinking very cool. i get to setup a new tank. no pics yet because its living inside some lr. the color of it is red , and probably an inch long or so. cant tell if its a spearer or clubber. so once i figure out what im gonna do , i will be peppering the matis "club" here with questions. im excited about this. also got alot of rolling eyes at home.

Merry Christmas Guy

if you spot it wearing an open shirt, gold medallion and shades - its a clubber

hahaha nice find

 

loool steve

 

Very cool on the new hitchhiker. The only hitchhikers I ever got (that I know about) was a bristle worm LOL.

 

weird thing about it is, as i said tanks been up for a year. and with all the staring at it ive done, never seen the mantis. no new lr has been added in quite some time.

 

very cool new hitchhiker! i'm surprisde it hasnt harmed any fish or inverts

 

in an earlier post , evil red serpent , i put it down to it killing cleaner shrimp, porcelain crabs and snails. i saw it dragging a live cleaner away. but now i think hes got a partner in crime. lol

 

lol steve. we want pics. the red coloration seems cool. maybe jwin could identify it. im suprised he hasnt seen this thread yet.
