who likes watching there mantis shrimp wreak havok?

We still have that giant emerald in our fuge that doesn't do anything. My mom made me put him in there because she was fearing for our reef critters (this is a biiig emerald crab). I still see him in the fuge, and it takes a special kind of self control for me to not grab him and drop him into Bo's tank.

Princess's relationship with Orca (her damsel) is pretty cool too. Orca, no matter how long they've been living together, still twitches at her and gets up in her face. Now she just stares at him like "ummm...wtf are you doing?" The best moment was when he tried to twitch at her while she was digging, so she turns around and uses her swimmies to blast him with a face full of sand.

Our mantis have more personality than any of our fish

 

Ah yes. They are indeed crustacean snowblowers.

 

That's the most accurate way of putting it that I've heard Bravo, inwall. Bravo.

 

i posted a awesome video awhile back of a mantis eating an "angel"

bioreefdude, I'm having flashbacks of Bo going after his chromis buddies

That's an awesome mantis setup!

 

I have a cinnamon clown in the biocube with gabby, and the other day the clown got smacked in the head, it swelled just like a human hitting their head, with a gash in the middle, and the funny and intelligent part of it, is ever since at night the clown goes to the top where the water goes to filter and let's it's tail get sucked up so it will stay up there and sleeps like that, and clown has made a full recovery, and has never been caught off guard again, gabby still keeps her eyes on the fish though LOL

 

I miss Bob! She was a great mantis. I am actually debating getting another!

 

Mel, you should get another. How's Mac? Do you still have him? (*crosses fingers that this isn't a sore topic*)

We have some gender issues here on 3reef. Bob was a girl. Puffer Chick's firefish named Princess is a boy (or she calls it a he). *sigh*

Mantis are too cool to not have

 

.....and Mel is a girl. ;D

 

Wait, what'd I say? I knew that. What'd I say suggesting she's a he? I'm confused...

Oh and Bo isn't falling for the mantis print out anymore. I tried again today and he just looked at it, then looked at me, and then went back to what he was doing
