Guest Snorkelwasp Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 i want to possibly put my RBTA in with my mantis shrimp. it seems the best tank as it doesnt have strong flow or impellars to get sucked into. The question seems better asked if anyone with a mantis problem has lost fish or crabs or snails but their anemone was unphased by the event. i plan on feeding the shrimp well and putting the RBTA into a critter keeper (little sealed off tank) and let her get used to the sight/smell before taking the lid off and letting it wander out. any CONSTRUCTIVE comments? if not im gonna try, observe and report...i just highly doubt it would appear as food. (probably more of a toy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've got an LTA in my peacock mantis tank and he hasn't looked twice at it. It is just outside his burrow too. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well...dont plan on feeding your anemone anything because that shrimp will tear that anemone apart to get at the food......want another one? My mantis is amazingly still beating away on the snails in my refugium. I thought that sucker had died long ago till I heard him rapping the other day.

madmike Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I give my mantis whole clams and as he takes one into his burrow to work on, I feed the anemone.... works everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
