got a new mantis today

[zoebeaglezoe]

couldn't resist had a 20 gal. frag tank running for quite a while with nothing in it
saw this guy for $40.00 couldn't pass it up.....

while I was acclimating him he shed in the bag is this some that happens from time to time or should I be worried still looks healthy and I acclimated him on the slow side over an hour easily..

heres a couple pics
