About two months ago I spotted a nice hitchhiking mantis in my display tank. Saw and heard her for several weeks. I think she killed my pistol shrimp and peppermint shrimp.
But for the past two weeks no sign of her and no snapping from the tank.
Did something happen to her? I do have a big male emerald crab in the tank that I haven't managed to catch yet. How long might she hide after a molt? I know she was in the tank for six months before I spotted her. Could she be happily hiding in the rocks?
Most important, when would it be safe to replace the snapping shrimp?
