Each stomatopod is its own though. I would more assume that it is a large pistol and your CUC got to them. Pistols are capable of knocking a fish unconscious with their 'blast' from the larger claw. You could try the coke bottle trap and hope that works. What do your CleanUpCrew comprise of? If you had a smasher mantis you'd have a snail shell graveyard. 3) Spearers look like a praying mantis while a smasher's appendage (i believe raptoral if i'm not mistaken) looks like an elbow (because it pretty much is). Oh, and don't try to "see it" with a red light or something as they can see a broader spectrum than us :p _________ 14g Oceanic Cube Randall's Goby/Shrimp Pair * 3x Sexy Shrimp
