Mantis!

Ok good. I would hate for something to happen now.
I guess my lighting is just more intense in the fuge.

Could also be the spectrum. My coralline grows better in my lower lit tanks.

Wierd. Oh well. I'll just have to wait. Took me more than 8 months to see a large improvement in my 55g growing Coraline. At least its a good sign that it is even spreading have the tank be around 2 months old.

But there are definitately some that like higher light.

 

[the_bandit]

Coraline algae?

 

[cranberry]

Ya.

 

[the_bandit]

Ya I agree. I just want to get my overflow covered in Coraline. Luckily my lights sit more so over the overflow so it will be easy. I already have some growing on it because I scraped a couple times. Or maybe GSP or Pom Pom Xenia. Ive got to get me some new coral. I already have daisy polyps, hideous Zoo's, and a small patch out GSP out of my 55g.
I hope someone geting a Mantis shrimp discovers this thread. 5 pages of Mantis info.

Seen to hit a small problem. My Mantis wont eat hermits if presented in front of her. I have 2 little hermits and a large one wondering around the tank and they have still not been taken out. I presented to her a large Super Tongan Nassarius Snail and all she did was throw it out. She does randomly hit her PVC tunnel every so often but I think its not enough to keep her appendages. Am I in trouble?

They have quite times too. Wait until she's getting ready to molt and then she will go nuts. Somr kill everything that comes in the tank... whether they are hungry or not. Others only kill when they are hungry.
