ouch! I feel your pain. Last week, while playing with a stringray in the 800+ gallon tank in our store, one of the leopard groupers decided my finger looked like a nice snack. Funny thing, it didn't hurt... those suckers have some sharp teeth... but wow did it bleed.

We should start an "Adventures in Reefkeeping!" thread.

Oh great. I just got a Niger Trigger, and now I gotta be afraid to clean my tank 8O Heh, Well, I guess I could get some Chainmail gloves to wear while cleaning Then again, could be fun next time a friend comes over, "hey man, would you grab that shell off of the bottom?"

i was watching a tv show on the ocean the other night and the showed some clips on them and said that they had the force of a .22 calbier gun

 

[CountZero]

I saw a clip on time and they were saying the hammer variety has the strength of a .25 bullet and had a video of one startled and crack a tank open... Cool, but nasty...

i saw them shattering glass too, i hope that never happens too any one on AA tanks.

How big does a mantis have to be to break a glass aquarium???

 

[CountZero]

The one I saw was about 4 inches or so I believe. Also, I dont know, If I had a mantis shrimp in a small tank and he shattered the glass, it would suck at the time but would give you cool "Fish stories" to tell your friends

my mantis shrimps seem to be pretty happy eating all the hitchhiker crabs that I find.. they are happily living in a 29gal all to them selfs with the exception of all the "BAD" hitchhikers Its my banishment tank.. Been thinking about putting a Radiata Lionfish in there but still havent decided what to do with the tank.. The Radiata Lionfish is pretty tempting..

BTW Clownfish dont hurt when they bite...
