leveldrummer- its a 12 gallon nanocube. The mantis has never dug, but he has chisled a hole into the live rock. He is very neat, doesnt move things around, and doesnt throw sand anywhere.
Scuba Kid- Of course I did tons of reserch before getting my mantis. Thing is, she will only eat frozen foods handed to her. She has never touched my fish, crabs, snails, or shrimp. All live out there natural lives. It won't even attempt to kill a hermit if you throw a tiny one in its lair, she will just throw it right back out. I really wanted a mean one, the kind that will rear up and pop the glass when your looking at it, but I was acutally able to pull some long algae strands from the front of its burrow without being bothered
Ill post some older pics of my mantis, and im currently trying to get her to let me take new ones
This is when I set up the tank March of '06
