    I can definately see this is absolutely true. So far I'd need high speed equipment to get a pic of him. lol
    And man are they acrobatic! He zipped out from under the rock, grabbed a mysid shrimp, did a somersault and was gone! OH and when he swims he doesn't do it all funky and shrimp like now.

    It amazes me how fast they can fly through the water and dive into a cave without slowing down and without hitting the rock.

    It's been 3 full days since I last saw Buck. This morning I even had a couple chunks of deli shrimp in the tank by his old den opening and a tube opening and still nothing. If this is normal mantis behavior it blows considering I spent $50 on a friend I've only seen so little since I got him. :(

    He FINALLY came out and ate some shrimp. LOL shy is an understatement!! As soon as he saw me he was gone! I really hope he gets over it one day so I can enjoy him a little more.
