Mantis (Smithii) Pictures

I got some more pictures of my Mantis today. Light years better than my previous pictures of this guy, but definately still room for improvement. I believe it's a Gonodactylus smithii. Thanks for the ID rudy!!

Hopefully you enjoyed the pictures!

Great pics Nelson!!
Would love to see a full mantis shot if you can ever get one.
Try luring him out with some tasty escargot..

I'd like to be able to get a full body shot as well, but that will be very challenging. I hope he becomes more outgoing once he puts on some size.

Here's a picture of mine. I figure it'll eventually turn bright green, since they are usually maroon in deeper waters, which is likely where mine came from.

do they eat all hermits, snails, and anything else along the bottom of the tank?
