Default Bunch of pics of my mantis shrimp (56k = lol)

Alright, the big post. I think I have decided on names for each of the shrimp. Leonidas for the Ciliata (spartan w/ spear) and Amadeus for the peacock (no reason really other than a sweet song by Falco lol)

So around 10:30 the package arrived.
