Mantis Shrimp hitchhiker, looks like a peacock.

[Naturalreef]

Ordered some Gulf live rock which came in today for my new lagoon 25 build. Caught a mantis shrimp ~ 2 inches long which I believe is a peacock watching it come out of his home. His colors faded when caught and put into fresh saltwater. Any takers?

Free to a good home, first come first served.

pickup bourbonnais, Illinois.

Not a peacock but interesting colors! Most likely this: https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropod...acostraca/royslist/species.php?name=n_bredini

Wish I was nearby to take him

Nice find! Top picture looks like him. Hopefully someone will grab him and provide a good home. Seems very friendly. I’ll even try shipping if it’s reasonable.

Haha same on shipping! But I can understand not wanting to if youve never sent live inverts/fish in the mail

If I get no local interest, I’ll ship him vs euthanasia.
