Yup he even eats out of my hand... Sometimes it is a fight between my wife and I who will feed him...
 
Nice photo! I'm regretting my newb mantis hitchhiker war more and more as the years go by... Had 5 in my LR delivery...
 
The Peacock is not really a fish killer (it can kill fish but it is a smasher, not a spearer). It prefers crabs, shrimps, snails etc.

Used a Canon 1Ds Mark III with a Canon 100mm F2.8 macro lens.

Ive seen alot of people keep them with Tangs and theyve had no problems ive also seen some keep them with clowns and damsels!
 
Awesome pic! They really are beautiful creatures but they don't get along with anything else. So yes, species only tank for them. There are great videos of these guys in action on you-tube.

Don't know if you're joking, but if you aren't you got some stones..

I hope your hand is at the far end of 10 foot long stainless steel feeding tongs, otherwise, you sir are a brave, brave man.

Beautiful animal. Those eyes are mesmerizing.
