1.5inch long Mantis Shrimp safe???

[djviper]

Hi guys wanna ask hor... i just found the Mantis Shrimp that is hidden in my tank. The only thing is it is impossible to remove the rock ... reason? cuz the rock weights at least 10kg and it is the base of all my rockscape(smart shrimp).

So issit ok to leave it there ?

tried using trapping method but fail..

or any other advise???? don't intend to take out the rock.

ps: been playing around with the shrimp though ahaha i poke it with a satay stick and it just went "CLick"

That is quite a big mantis shrimp and I highly suggest you take it out of your tank. Because when it grows big in the future, don't be surprised if you find some of your fishes missing.

Try the trapping method again, esp if you do not wish to take out the rock.. Maybe put more scrumptious food like market prawns.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Good luck!
