[Alex]

Well the order came through at work. I now have a 4 inch Clown Mantis. He is in my 32 gallon sump with lots of LR. Very cool animals. I also have 2 other mantis that are not Identified yet they are only 1.25 inches and 1 inch right now. I hope to collect more of these cool creatures as they come along.

I Work at the the LFS so I can get them really cheap.

Now the small ones I can't get pics of them. The second they see movement they jet into there burrow. While the big one gets interested in me. I am sure in a few months they will journey once they are larger.
