Mantis question/pest question

[phastroh]

What am I supposed to do with the Mantis Schrimp that come in my rock or other crabs that I don't want.

I kind of don't want to just kill them I mean that is terrible.

Can I just leave them in the refugium or is that also a no go. I mean I will probably have to get in there at some point and like my fingers attached.

Same with the crabs I may find.

you can put them in the fuge, but sometimes people like having mantis shrimp tanks. SO maybe take them to the LFS especially if it is a colorful one and not the plain red one.

Boil it. Melt some butter. Its the same thing as lobster. The SAME thing! jk jk

I'd put it in the fuge.

+1. Into the fuge!

 

[phastroh]

Yeah but just toss it into the fuge with the rocks and sand. I mean what do I feed it then.

Also won't it be a pin to work in there like getting your finger cracked.

Toss some food in and be careful in the fugue. I saw a video of a guy putting his hand near his mantis and it sounded like his finger broke.

I always got rid of mine on local forums or dropped off at the LFS.
