mine smacks at my magfloat when i clean the inside glass.
i've hand fed her silversides, and so far she's been way more interested in grabbing a bite to eat than smacking the hand that feeds her. although, she does rear up in defense mode every time i walk up to HER tank. she's quite a character, she's been building, tearing down, and rebuilding her den for days now. it's fascinating to watch,

I fed mine a silverside tonight off a skewer. He grabbed it and dragged it into his den. He seems much happier now that I added a pound of live rock rubble to the tank.
I actually saw him running around outside tonight for the first time. I should get my light by next week and hopefully I will get some photos of him outside by then.
I just can't believe how cool these guys are.

Karl,
When and where did you get a Mantis?
When and where did you get a Mantis?
Well despite everyone saying less light is better. It seems my Mantis prefers to have a bit of direct lighting. As soon as I started getting some more light in the tank out he comes.
Right now I have a few lamps rigged up to shine on the tank, while I wait for my permanent lights to arrive. He has spent more time out of his burrow in the last hour than he has over the last 4 days.
Here are a few bad photos.
