So, After placing some new LR into my 25g last night, I saw a little shrimpy critter crawl under a rock. Whoa! I pulled it out, and sure enough - a mantis shrimp on the rock!
I named him Monty, and have placed him in a small 2g hex with an aptasia-ridden piece of live rock. I don't know if he'll make it - he had a pretty traumatic fall to the kitchen floor as I moved the rock.
After the stories I've heard about struggles with catching mantis shrimp, I can't believe I got so lucky as to just pluck out a small rock and catch him on the first try. Any ideas for how to care for the little guy? I kind of like him...so long as he's not in my reef!
I'll try to get pictures up later, but right now my internet connection is fighting with me...
