I think you mentioned this over on Ceph Care, but just in case someone missed it, Phil is a mantis shrimp, isn't he?

Yup. Phil's a Neogonodactylus wennerae Mantis Shrimp hitchhiker. (He's 1.5" long.)

He's one handsome fella I was tempted to get mantis' a couple of times but i was always afraid they would crack the glass. I wonder what it feels lke being hit by one?

dont think they call them 'The Thumbsplitter' for nothing LOL

Nice pics! Always loved the coloration of Mandarins.

I was watching "the most extreme" on animal planet and it showed several mantis shrimps smashing panes of glass, no idea how thick they were though. Phil responds to his name???
