He is pretty... I almost don't want to kill him now. Maybe setup the Nano for him?

Anyone need a mantis in the area, or want to care for it for awhile?

He is about 2.5" long and green with red accents.

Maybe ill take a pic later.

WOO-Freaking-Hoo!

PS- I caught him trying to take out a turbo. The turbo was ON THE BACK WALL OF THE TANK! I said man... you are getting bold... so I grabbed the net, and as fate would have it, he didn't let go of the Turbo so into the net he went. He is now in a specimin container in my sump (I drilled some holes in the bottom so he would get a good supply of fresh water.)
 
it may be a peacock mantis

I hear they are great (in a specimen tank).
If you dont want him, I'd like it. He can keep me company at work. :)
 
He ate Krill from my hand last night.

I am not going to kill him anymore, as much as I planned on throwing him into my next batch of home made food.

If I do not setup the nano, I will give him to someone.

Boy is he mad being in the small container. He has been hitting it almost non stop.
