On two seperate days last week I saw what has to be a mantis shrimp. They were both green with big yellowish eyes, one was about an inch, the other around 3 inches. They moved too quickly to be a worm, and I can't think of anything else they could have been, they looked more like peacock rather than a pistol shrimp or a split-thumb mantis. I can't find anywhere where it says if they inhabit the area. Both times I tried to grab my wife to show her, but they were very skittish and I did not get to see them for long. They were both in crevices in coral heads between 20 and 40 feet. Anyone have an answer?
