Have to get rid of the mantis~

[Savager]

This is what happened when you got attacked by Mantis Shrimp. I am not sure it was spear one or smash.

 

[Savager]

Well, that picture was from here

I think it was smashing mantis. I am not sure how much damage you will get from spear mantis. It's kind of scarey.

haha..i have a small one in my 2.5 acrylic tank...NEVER PUT HIM IN A GLASS CONTAINER...they can smash them.. good luck..

Smashers hurt alot more. Speak from experience. It hurts like hell. I was messing in fromt of his hideout and he nailed my knuckle.

Yeah, a glass jar would turn the mantis into a carpet surfer instantly.

Wow!!!

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

They can break through glass aquariums too I guess.

 

[Savager]

I believe smasher mantis can break glass aquarium. But I think spearer mantis is fine in glass. Am I wrong?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Just asking cause I noticed a few smashed shells last week and a popping noise so I might have to go hunting.

Hey Slamma what was on each end of your trap? screens on both sides or just 1 side?
