Is there a reef safe fish that will kill/eat a mantis?

[RedOscar12]

Is there?

Blue ring octopus, maybe!

snowflake eel of decent size (assuming it is smaller mantis...)

 

[RedOscar12]

Oh I'd love to have a snowflake, but I know he would eat my clownfish and possibly my yellow tang. I remember something about a 6-line wrasse, is that true?

 

[DaddyJax]

Actually I wonder about a Zebra eel? They only eat crabs and shrimp!

 

[rwhhunt]

i highly doubt a snoflake eel would eat your clownfish... how big are your clowns??

The solution could be worse than the problem :eek1: .

Feed your mantis, make it think you're it's friend, then trap it once you've gained it's confidance.

I cant even see the mantis but I saw its shedding. He aint big but he already got my coral beuty angel. I keep looking fo him and hearing him, but he doesnt stay in the same spot for more than 2 minutes

Put food in the same spot using a feeding stick and the mantis will know where to go for a free lunch.
