I'm pretty sure I've got a young mantis here. It's about an inch, maybe an inch and a half long. Can anyone ID this for me? I have moved his home rock into a separate tank, and I'd like to know how big I should expect him to get. Thanks for the help.
 
defnately a mantis, it looks to be of the GONDACTYLUS genus but I would nt be certain about the species name, perhaps one of the more knowledgable members would be able to give you a definate ID
 
Looks like it could be N. wennerae ... but it's hard to say. If you got your mantis in some live rock from TBS or other carribbean/gulf suppliers there's a good chance that it is N. wennerae ... there's another one or two species that are very similar but I think they're also found from the same region/sources so it might be one of those other greenies :)
