Mantis shrimp
Hey, I'm looking for a mantis shrimp (preferably small ish). I'd like a peacock, but the only must is that it is a puncher, not a spearer. Even if you just know where I can get one for sure, please tell me. Thanks.

Can those crack an aquarium? I hear they have a powerful punch.

They do have a powerful punch, but there are no official reports or confirmed cases of them breaking a tank.

I've only seen one crack a tank and that is because he food was close to the glass I always fed mine right out side his cave

Anyone who is considering buying from kpaquatics: do it!!! Just got my order an hour ago, everything (mantis shrimp, pistol shrimp, cerith snails, toadstool algae, and dwarf serpent sea star) came quickly, professionally packaged, in perfect condition, and customer support is extremely reliable.

Hopefully they're not going in with the mantis, or they will become an expensive meal

Everything else went into the refugium I have yet to see him eat, but he's already made a burrow in the back of the tank
