Looking for a peacock mantis shrimp...
Anyone out there got a peacock mantis shrimp they are willing to part with? I've got some big colonies of lps and other things to trade. Lets talk.

Yeah, but now often does that really happen? Does anyone know? There ability to break the glass is well known, but how many people do you know who have had one actually break the glass? Also, how many people do you know who have housed them in glass with no problems? the way I understand it is that one should just be aware that it is cautionary to do so because of their ability to break the glass.

More than you think. I lost one to a smashing incident. When you do, you will feel terrible because it was so preventable. Don't risk it, you'll be sorry.

One thing you can do is put acrylic or cutting bord on the bottun to help with that. They also have one at Somethingfishy.
