Molino Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Just an FYI to anyone interested. There is a very large (about a foot long) zebra Mantis at Big Als here in Edmonton. Needless to say I was very surprised when I saw him! He's in one of the tanks above the Live Rock. I believe its: Lysiosquillina maculata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Very cool, I wonder if they allow Photography of their inhabitants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murminator Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I know I seen him running around in the tank I could not beleive the size of him :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanker Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Don't use a flash and they'll probably never know you're taking pictures. I know I have snapped more than a few shots with my cell camera; then I'll go home and Google what I saw to find out more about it. My cell phone takes a better picture than my old digicam did, so it wasn't just about stealth or convenience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hehe, I like that idea :ph43r: Though they'd probably notice my hulking camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neely Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 why hasn't (mr mantis) Tim gone up there and snagged this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunl Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Because you'll need a 1.5 foot sand bed for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neely Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Because you'll need a 1.5 foot sand bed for it. What- you don't think Tim would do that? and then flip it a month down the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Wow! He looks big enough to be good eating. That was taken with your cell phone? Pretty dang good for a phone camera if so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 That was taken with your cell phone? Pretty dang good for a phone camera if so! Nah, just a quick snap with a Fuji point and shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
