Lime Green Mantis Shrimp are highly territorial and should always be housed in a dedicated tank. They possess remarkable speed and power in their claws, which they use to break into the shells of crabs and other crustaceans. It is important to note that they should not be housed with other fish or invertebrates, as they pose a significant threat to smaller species.
