Mantis shrimp
Trust me, that mantis shrimp will eat that crab no matter it’s size. I think they don’t eat coral.(truly don’t know)I have no other tank to put him in and I don't want to kill him. Is it a danger to my corals? I do have a huge mithrax crab (WAS a tiny one) that snacked on all my peppermint shrimp, so he might not last a day anyway
I think itll be fine temporarily, how long is the Mantis? Just dont tease it at the glass and it should leave the plastic siding alone. You'll need live rock in that tank as well. Their punch has the force of a .22 caliber bullet, so I stress this 3.5 gal being temporary.How about plastic? As in just a basic 3.5 gallon from petsmart. Best I could find on short notice & not sure I'd trust the glass strength on a small tank. He seems pretty docile so far- moved him first to get a pic then again out of the starfish & crab quarantine. I'll give him some meaty chunks now.
I would say 3 inches. Hopefully this will be good enough to make it until stores reopen. I'm in Jersey, we're getting hit hard with Covid. We're not even allowed in most stores, curbside pickup or delivery only. LFS's closed.I think itll be fine temporarily, how long is the Mantis?
