    i talked to the guy and he has it holded for me when they catch it. he is bringing in some fish traps to catch it for me. my tank has 5 lbs of rock in it. in two clumps so should i make more rubble out of it?

    you could try some pvc. also i wouldnt toss in "15" snails. at least in my mantis tank, he will just kill them all for fun and then i have shell pieces and snail pieces floating around everywhere. haha... make sure to get pics up STAT :D congrats

    Once I got mine and had it with a fish I thought "why couldn't I have this guy in my reef? I can live with a few dead snails!"

    But I already have him his own tank so oh well...lol
