livingart Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 4 young mantis, 3 yellow, 1 green and an unidentified shrimp would have to dig them out to get pics same with the rock cod it is nocturnal so have to pull rockwork apart to get pic need to let things settle into a new cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
