Haptosquilla. Possibly trispinosa. Biotype

Similar to my Smithii thread. I have a Haptosquilla, probably trispinosa. I know it originated in some Indonesian rock. What sort of environment and other life forms exists around them. They are a small mantis and I have found it is very easy to keep other animals including inverts that are two big to eat. Only eating the very smallest ghost shrimp and brine shrimp sized foods. I have a couple of 1.5 cm shrimp that he hasn't touched.

Thanks

They don't get much bigger than that either. He could exist in a coffee jar.
