If anyone finds a mantis shrimp in their live rock, I'd love to have one. PM me and give me a price. Thought I'd post this just in case.

the best thing to do is see who is getting some carribean LR. that seems to have the highest number of mantis shrimp per pound.

Yeah, I hear of lots of mantis sightings in the Tampa Bay rock.

What kind of money are you willing to pay?
What are they worth?

Buy one from advanced aquatics you can get what ever color or kind you want. He wont have them listed on his sight but if you call him he usually has pretty common ones for sale around 20 bucks or really fancy ones for around $100.

I reccommend the peacocks.....here is mone and it is around 6-7 inches. Good luck with your search

I would actually prefer a mantis that is smaller than a peacock. I had a G. ternatensis that I absolutely loved, but I lost him a year or so ago. I've been looking for another since.

As far as what I'd be willing to pay...it would depend on the species. I'm patient enoughto wait for one that is a good match for me. I'll check out the distributor you mentioned and see what he has available. Thanks.
