So this month I will finally have a Mantis Shrimp as a pet!
Super excited.
For those that do not know the awesomeness of these highly aggressive crustaceans please read this...

Keeping with the fact that Australia is home to some of the most dangerous animals on earth it should come as no surprise that more than half of the over 400 species of mantis shrimp call Australian waters home.
They lurk anywhere from shallow reefs to 1500 metres down in the dark of the ocean floor.
The mantis shrimp creates a flash of light with is power punch, and can literally boil the water around its strike.

My wife is terrified and will not let me keep her in anywhere near her.
SO my question to the steemit community is this?
Do you have one or know of anyone that does?
AND
Do you have any tips for me on tank, enviroment, feed etc etc etc?
Please share if you do.
Peace
