In Memoriam
Hi fellow Mantis fans.....I just got my new Mantis( I have several small ones). This bad boy is all of 12" and like ALL my manti is housed in Tuff box type clear plastic homes. I'll post a pic soon. He is named after The Thing...Ben Grimm of the Marvel Fantastic Four comic character. His motto was "It's clobberin' time" and judging by the size of his clubs he could split the thumb if givin' the chance. I'll post a pic soon. My smaller one of 4"(little Ben) cracked a 20H, the fat part of my tank cleaning tool ,and the prongs on my gravel tool. He has a new home too. Both were given to me by the local LFS....I spend enough $$$ there for my reef tanks and they were glad to be rid of them. I can't undestand as they are so coooool! Big Ben puts his eyes out of the water and walks around like that it's a trip.............later. I post pics this evening Steve:dance:
.....was dead. I guess his size also ment he had run out his life span. I do not know how old he was but he was no youngster. He was only 10 1/2 " with clubs out....here he is or was.....hope pic attaches
..cause they are 
My reef tanks are full so collecting multiple Mantis meenies is next for me.Thanks again and I'll post new ones as I get them......especially if they are biggies...... The LFS I am lucky to live near gets me what I want and because I am loyal to them $$$$$ is not ever a big issue( I get a good discount) so my wait is only till next Tues. They do not need me to shill for them so I won't:strooper: .......Steve:dance:
