Mantis Shrimp

You have got to look at this picture minireefer posted of this mantis shrimp http://www.livingreefs.com/album_page.php?pic_id=71 . I had one of these in my tanks, it took me 2 hours to catch the sucker. They move their claws at the speed of a .22 bullet. They eat EVERYTHING in your tank, tear your live rock up and can break your aquarium glass. My shrimp was a hitch hiker on some live rock, his colors were light red and very bland. He made a trip into the garbage disposler, opps.
