I KNOW!!! i want it so bad. ill have my bulbs nad protein skimmer to fiddle with this week but idk when there gonna get it out of their reef tank.

 

Looks really good man. I think your mantis is really going to appreciate the small pebbles you have in the front.

 

wow this is coming out realy nice i cant wait to set up my msntis tank. what kind of filtration are you using?

 

two filters with chaeto and gracilaria nad mangroves.

 

Wow that looks like a mantis heaven You can buy some base rock to put in there instead of having to go with live rock. It'll be cheaper and you can select your pieces easier and all that fun stuff.

And yes. When you're acclimating that mantis try to get alot of good pictures. That way we can try to tell you the species, and even the gender of it.

 

We've had a damsel with a mantis (actually on the second mantis, same damsel) for over a year now. The damsel backs up and twitches at the mantis - they were actually face to face the other day - I would have loved to have a picture of that!

 

Here is a quick video of my unwanted mantis shrimp.
