mantis and bubble tip?

[slandis3]

i have a small mantis ( not sure what speices Its dark green) I can never get a good pic. I want to put my bubble tip Anemone in with it. Its in a 33L tank good idea or bad?

Bad idea.... If your mantis gets trapped in there the mantis is screwed and for anemone you need bright lights and mantis shrimps do not like bright lights. you can try i will say the chances are 50/50

Well, those 33 gallon longs (AGA I'm assuming) have a nice amount of space, so it may not even be an issue. If you're worried about it, put the anemone a little further up where the mantis can't reach it, or where it doesn't roam. Is it attached to a rock already?

People keep all sorts of corals with their Mantis Shrimps without problems...

its actually attached to the glass in another tank that has to come down soon. Its starting to leak

i have a GBT with my O.S. and they are doing fine together.
she doesnt attack it or anything of the sort.

I'd say go for it as long as it won't starve.

+1, i dont see any problem here. If your lights are very bright all that you need to do is provide the building materials for a nice dark burrow... LR and some rubble (which you should have regardless of your lights anyways).
