im happy you found a mantis. that guy there is a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis. Quite suited for an aquarium but they get over 10cm so you will have to upgrade in the future. Good luck with the mantis.

Default Updates

the macro algae i got is starting to grow like a weed so thats good maybe ill sell some :P the mantis is real timid so far so hes very hard to get shots of, hes almost wipped out my cleaning crew of 10 hermits lol so ill have to buy more, once he gets bigger and comes out more it'll be easier to get more pics, so untill then heres some shots of the crab, and my turbo snail "cooter"




"cooter"


the "one armed bandit" eating some scallop

they acctually are reef safe, there not as bad as everyone says they are, the most ud lose is the odd clean up crew (there cheap so who cares), specially if u keep him feed every second day, which is fun to do, aahope has a reef bio cube with one in it and its fine, and the local FS has a massive 100g reef with a smithii in it and ud never be able to tell, there really not that destructive (AS LOGN AS U GET A SMASHER) as spearers kill fish
