Havnt got him YET.. but found out that I have MORE Bristle worms than I thought... One of them took a silverside OUT of the trap and brought it up to a piece of rock.. UGH!!!
Also, I was stung by my torch coral while putting my hands in the darn tank so much.....
UGH!!!
I give up! Hopefuly nothing will disappear??:mad:
If it does, I will FREAK OUT.... Gonna set traps every night!
Thanking you kindly, Kim
 
Mudd,

I still havn't seen MINE yet.. Grrr... Lastnight I only heard a few clicks... It's only matter of time now. I feel like a vigilante'
HAHA :yes: Just hoping he doesnt break the glass BEFORE I catch him..... "think like a mantis" ~ "think like a mantis" ~ think like a mantis" ROFLMAO..... :hilarious :hilarious

I just found one of my BIG hermits I have had for a LONG time yanked out of his shell DEAD!
Would a mantis pull him out of the shell and NOT eat him? Or would he have EATEN him? Just doing some investigation.
Thanking you kindly,. Kim
Oh GOSG! :mad: :mad: :mad:

We dipped our mantis' rock in R/O water last night and she came right out...netted her up and put her in a bag, and took her to our LFS.......so we're mantis free..as far as we know.

How did you know WHAT rock he was in???? YOur so LUCKY!!
GOOD JOB! Was it a pretty one??
Kim

We watched our mantis for a number of days..she'd get out and about but always went back in the same hole in the same rock. Figured that was her nest.
She was a pretty one...really bright red.
 
The MANTIS WON!!
I never caught the darn thing.. I hear intermittent ckicking BUT can't catch him
BOY, I have raised SMART tank mates. They seem to be able to get into the traps and TAKE the food out.
I guess my man made traps are not for this task.. BUT I cannot see the commercial traps working any better BUT, I just ordered one.. HE HEH HE
Just the update here...
Does anyone know the answer to the question... Will a mantis just rip a large hermit out of the shell OR Should he have eaten him?? My lawnmower blennie had disappeared!! URGH
Thanking you kindly, Kim
