Well I will take your word for it bob. Just trying to be encouraging.
In other news, I have updates on "bad" hitch hikers from my TBS rock! I am not certain of the list yet, but so far I have seen:
- bright green mantis shrimp (less than 1" long)
- 2 small gorilla crabs
- various whelks (think I finally got most of them)
I pulled a few gorillas when I got the rock, but now that the dust has settled and the rock has been in for a while, I think things are really beginning to pop out of the wood work.
"Good" hitch hikers include:
- Lots of baby brittle stars
- Lots of tiny feather dusters
I am hearing loud pops occasionally at night as well, so I am wondering how loud a less than 1" mantis shrimp can be, or if I have a pistol shrimp hiding somewhere in there?
I ordered a pest trap from smiths and fosters, but I am skeptical of catching much other than my hermit crabs. Any advice on nabbing the mantis? Just pull the rock he/she lives in/under and hope it comes along, then use FW/SodaW to get it out?
Thoughts and advice?
