mantis shrimp !!!!!!!!! I've lost a couple of my red legged hermits and a
clown and now I've got a lovely bright green beautiful and very deadly
mantis shrimp. there's a teddy bear crab in there too and he'll have to go
as well but I want to keep my yellow polyps but if I cant get the mantis out
then I'm prepared grudgingly to lose them rather than have the tank
inhabitants terrorised like they are at the moment.

Have you ever considered keeping this beautiful animal in its own tank?
Shrimps are very interesting animals to observe... Maybe move it to the sump?
