Hey amphiprion15 !!
You'd be more than welcome to have the one in my tank if I can ever catch the little beast.
It's been in there for at least 1-1/2 years. I never saw it for months - but heard it occasionally. When I did the 55 to 75 swap back in late December - you can bet I was aware of it possibly being in my tank, and talk about a "fear" of handling the live rock. I looked and looked for it as I removed pieces of rock - especially on the pieces of rock it hangs out near ..... but did not spot it. I thought at that time if may have died and it's remains were eaten by hermits.
Guess what ...... little bugger is still in my new tank
I've been baiting a mantis trap called "The X-Terminator" for so long now .... but so far no captured mantis. I'm beginning to think this trap was designed to catch my $14.00 bucks.
I have caught numerous hermit crabs, snails, half of a brittle star ( other half hanging out the trap door waving it's other arms around ) and some pods. Other than that - guess I'll keep baiting it each night.
It's about 1-1/2 to 2" in length, sort of a dark greenish blue, and appears to be a slasher variety from what I've been able to see of it, but I'm not sure of that.
I've nicknamed it S.O.B. which stands for "Same Old Bugger" <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" /> yeah right !
You can have it when and if I catch it. That may still be awhile yet though - if my current success rate continues on the way it has been going
