This individual Mantis Shrimp is approximately 3.5 inches long and belongs to the order Stomatopoda. Mantis shrimp are fascinating, active marine crustaceans known for their powerful specialized appendages and predatory behavior. Their striking presence comes with a strongly territorial disposition, so careful planning is essential: provide a secure, species-appropriate setup and keep them separate from reef livestock and tankmates they may attack or consume. Best suited to experienced aquarists prepared to meet the needs of a highly aggressive species. Actual coloration and markings may vary by specimen.
