I have a Florida themed tank. It's not that pretty, but the animals are all from SW Florida beaches or estuaries or from snorkeling in the Florida Keys. (see the link to snorkeling in my signature below... it's a fun thread). The tank has zoas, gorgonians, stars, rock boring urchins, rock flower anemones, sea cucumbers, CUC and a 3" mantis shrimp.

That's a big Ole Florida mantis shrimp! How long have you had it

my theme is an SPS dominant mixed reef that lacks ALK, no3, and po4 stability!

in all honesty, i'm thinking of switching out my entire fish stock list once i switch over to the 60G cube i plan on building. might do a semi-aggressive tank, or like a goby or wrasse only tank..24" foot print limits what fish i can have though..

At 3" (inches) it's not that big. I've had it for almost a year and it was just 2" when I collected it while snorkeling in the Keys. So far, it's been a pretty good citizen in the tank.

To be honest, I have no idea. Most mantis shrimp we see when we pick up a rock, streak over the sand to another rock and are gone. This one stuck to the rock when I picked it up and then let go. As it was slowly swimming toward the bottom, I put my collection jar under it and brought it home. I'm really happy it's surviving, and even happier it's growing!

Look me up when you get it and we can compare notes. I feed mine every 3 or 4 days along with my RFAs and 2 inherited clownfish.
