The Ciliated Mantis Shrimp is included in the Spearing Mantis Shrimp group. They are very interesting shrimp that resemble the praying mantis insect. They have large eyes and their bodies exhibit a fluorescent green. These are extremely aggressive shrimp that should be housed alone in a species aquarium.
The Ciliated Mantis Shrimp should be housed in an aquarium that is devoted to this species. Only one shrimp should be kept in the aquarium. They have very quick claws that they use to break the shell of crustaceans and crabs. They should not be housed with fish or other invertebrates, unless they are large, and caution should still be exercised. A sandy bottom with plenty of rubble and at least one piece of live rock should be provided for these shrimp to create a cave.
The diet of a Ciliated Mantis Shrimp should include live feeder fish, crabs and frozen meaty foods such as fish, scallop and shrimp.
