maybe u want to get a clearer picture.

i can see nothing on what is it.

maybe u want to try taking them individually?

from all these "pests", they will produce "click" "click" sound out from the tank. Did u hear it?

if u did, theres high chance that a mantis or pistol in ur tank. or both too

I think it is called the Invisible Shrimp, the transparent species

aha, now more visible and not transparent

First picture looks like those we normally eat, second pic is mantis shrimp, third pic, don't know. Anyway I don't think you want to keep these dull colour shrimps as I don't think they are good for you corals and small fishes esp the mantis.

[Lester]

is the mantis shrimp a Smasher kind or Spearer Kind???

Cheers

hi to all ....

can't belive it... the 2" piston shrimp is begin bully the the 1" mantis ...

the mantis kept chasing the piston shrimp on the small tank...

guess they are hungry... the pistol shrimp will try to use its claws to produce shockwave and stun its prey... bout whether ur mantis is piercer or smasher, kinda hard to tell from a pic
