Looking for Rainbow Mantis

[Marc Daniels]

Hey, anyone seen a rainbow mantis around any of the stores ? They are normally a bright yellow, and are of the spearer variety.

Only mantis I've seen was a baby red one at your reef a couple weeks ago. It was a smasher and free though. I had to get my Peacock from a shop in the bay area. I don't trust ordering one.

Not sure what kind it is. I was in Yourreef today, and they have one.

Thx, I'll check with them tomorrow. Hopefully it is a red variant of G. wennerae from the Caribbean that hitch-hiked into John's. I kept one in the last nano I had on my bar and it was a lot of fun. I need to run out there anyways and get some sand and starter rock.
