Was looking at my tank this morning and saw a small transparent object moving around in my procilipora coloney that also houses my acro crab. I kept watching this thing move around until i could get a better look at it. It looks just like a praying mantis so im guessing mantis shrimp since ive never seen one. He is only about half an inch big running around in the colony hiding from the acro crab. Should I worry about this little guy? If so How do i catch the little guy? I was told fresh water dip but Im worried about that acro crab also. First time I have ever ran into a reef pest, this should be interesting.
Thanks

Sounds like a mantis. Have you hear any snapping sounds coming from your tank? There are fish traps you can use to catch the mantis. Possibly, someone on the board may have one you could borrow.
