The Peacock Mantis Shrimp is a brightly colored stomatopod with club-like "bashers" that strike incredibly fast. It's intelligent and likes to burrow in deep sand and rock caves.
Why We're Obsessed
It's one of the most interesting animals you can keep, with crazy colors and a big personality. Best as the star of its own tank.
Care:Not safe with fish, shrimp, crabs or snails; it will hunt them. Best kept alone in a species tank with deep sand and rockwork. Large ones can crack glass with a strike. Feed meaty foods like shrimp, clams and snails. Max size about 7".
