FYI...

there are 2 kinda mantis shrimps... Smasher kind and Spearer Kind...

the peacock mantis falls under the smashers... the end of it 2 fore arms are hard, white balls... which are used to smash crustaeceans... as crabs and shrimps are their primary food source.... this kinda are the ones that say will smash tank.... in contrary, unless the mantis felt trapped and threaten... it will not smash the tank.... frm my experience and knowledge... acrylic is more resistant to cracking than glass tank...

spearer kind are the green and brown ones... (i think... i nv keep before..) examples are those pics that shaohui posted.... the ends are used to spear fishes... so they eat fishes rather than crabs....

above explaination is in broken english.. and from my knowledge and experience of keeping mantis shrimp....

an attempt to educate the public and boost my posting ratings... hiakz hiakz... :evil:
