I thought you guys might enjoy this. I got a P. ciliata mantis shrimp a while ago. P. ciliata is a small spearer that's very active and can have a wide variety of colors depending on their environment. This is a pic of her on her first day. You can clearly see she's a female by the lack of gonopods.

This is a video of her hunting a ghost shrimp (warning: the music is a little loud)


and a video of her hunting a chromis
