Peacock Mantis Shrimp - Facts On The Beautiful Peacock Mantis Shrimp
Smachers need to be kept in a Acrylic tank, they will break the glass ones. They need to be kept with a large load of rubble. The Peacock Mantis is very colorful.

Yeah I was thinking about getting one of the pretty green and pink ones that only get to be about 6 inches. Don't need an 18 incher beraking my tanks and ripping my thumb off. Thanks all for the. Responses
