Mantis Babies

[johngrosso]

I have just spotted about 40 to 60 baby mantis in my reef, varying in size up to a half a centimeter. Any suggestions on this. Will they make it to full size. What to do. I captured one in my sump about two months ago about 2 1/2 inches long but I must have more.

a great many of us would love to raise baby mantis
