Ditto-a Mantis nano would make a great entry!

That hermit is the centerpiece of this lil'one.

All is well with my entry, the hermit molted again just the other day I am feeding omega one shrimp pellets (one every other week or so)

Another update - with photo this time... the hermit is in the middle. I am surprised at how well this has worked. The pod population seems to be increasing and the hermit seems to be doing great. Got some baby snails showing up on the glass... they look like water spots in the pic

Yardboy- I intended to add more light... but I dont think I will.
