I got one and he is doing awesome

They are kind of drab right now but do get green with some yellow on them. They are referred to as the multi colored mantis

I've kept one of these guys for 8 months or so now, and she's a very nice greeny blue color. She spends most of her time in her rock, but they would make really good mantis' for nano tanks.


PS. Does this mean you don't want mine anymore Rudy?
