I knew going into setting up a W. Mantis Shrimp tank that he was going to be a hunter but holy crap I was not expecting just how much this thing punches above its weight class... So far this dude has:

* Decided it didn't like where I put some zoas, so it shattered the frag plug they were on and ripped them off the shards.
* killed a gorilla crab that was bigger than it and used it's shell as the doorway to its burrow
* this morning as the lights kicked on it stared at me for a second and then calmly tossed a hermit crab head at the glass
* rolled a rock 5 times its size across the bottom of the tank.
* launched an attack at the return nozzle

I mean, it's great but I feel like this thing would probably destroy its tank if it was any bigger...I think I got sent an even bigger psychopath than I was expecting.

Omg that is hilarious! If mine is near the glass and I put my fingers up, he’ll punch and it’s like the force of it pushes him back :face-with-tears-of-joy: It happens every time
