Looking to set up a basic 10 gallon and just wondering what options I have for choosing the mantis. Thanks guys.

 

[Calappidae]

N. wennerae and G. smithii are excellant choices.

Awesome! Do you recommend one over the other? I'm kinda thinking about the smithii. What filter do you recommend for a mantis?

I am setting up a ten gallon mantis tank also =) I am going with a wennerae. For filtration I am using a ac50

Awesome! Have you got it set up yet or are you still in the progress?

Still a work in progress. Its going to be a Florida bio-tope with ricordea, zoas,rock and condy nems, gorgonians and other Florida reef creatures.
