If it is a Mantis Shrimp you have nothing to worry about. Unless, of course, you want to keep your other pets alive. A mantis shrimp will systematically kill and eat pretty much everything else you have in there.

How can I be so sure? Because I love watching my mantis eat, so I buy damsels, feeder fish sometimes, large hermit crabs, small hermits crabs, snails, periwinkles, and I even sometimes throw in my firends fish whenever they die of natural causes. My mantis shrimp does not descriminate, he EATS ALL OF THEM.

Last week I put in a rather large banded coral shrimp, which Ghengis very quickly destroyed and ate. I have it on video too, so I should post it sometime ....

Hope that helps.

JJ.
