5" Peacock mantis looking for home

[Wocka]

This is gonna be for pickup only, I do not want to ship him. In south florida. Looking for a good reef home for him to go to 30gallons and up atleast. You must have some education on how to take care of mantis shrimp etc..

Here are pics of him.. Free if you pick him up.

My email is pimpsk8er3702@hotmail.com

Hehehe.. he was probly 2.5" when I got him but he grew. Im moving to huntington beach and I deff know he wont make the 4 day drive threw the crazy heat.

I wouldn't try to bring him either.
Good new.
There's a bunch of fish stores near Huntington beach!
I got three of my peacocks from a store in Huntington beach.
Tons for fish markets to get snails to feed your Mantis.

I'm in Daytona Beach, where in South Florida are you? I don't have mantis experience but I have done a lot of research and a bought a 30g acrylic tank just for a peacock mantis. I work at the LFS and I know quite a bit about saltwater tanks. I am able to get one shipped to me from Indonesia but if you are trying to find a home for him I would rather take him instead.
