Mantis and a 10g

[Dave12678]

I wanted to start a 10g tank. I wanted to put a mantis in there with some coral. Mostly zoas and other coral that do not need MH lighting to look good. Is this a good idea? And what kind is the best for a 10g glass?

thanks for looking

It is a fine idea. Most people suggest N. wennerae from TBS saltwater and they can stand just bout any light you give them. They won't hurt the corals, but they might move them so make sure they are attached securely.

As I mentioned somewhere else, Sea Life Inc has mantises. I think with shipping they're like 35. You just have to contact them.
