Hail friends.
So while perusing the nooks and crannies of my live rock for serpent stars, pods and other hitchhikers, I happened across a pair of peculiar eyes staring back at me.
Long story short, it turned out to be a mantis (much excitement ensued, followed immediately by much frustration in my attempts to trap it). I did eventually manage to relocate the shrimp (and his home) to the refugium however :beer:.
The fiesty little thing has hence forth been known as Spartacus. I was hoping you guys could tell me a little more about him. I've had a look at the roy's list, but frankly, don't know where to start.

He would have been collected in Australia (Most likely Queensland) if that helps.
Any ideas?
