Over the last couple days he has moved into the sea shell and filled it with sand and rubble. Last night he closed himself into his den with a shell. Very neat. I still can't believe how he eats the flake food I feed the fish. His roomies are a bicolor angel, a Valentini puffer (vs?) 7 blue leg hermits, 3 astra type sundial snails, one leopard turbo snail, A mushroom, and some palys and zoas I'm trying to recooperate. Everyone is getting along very well although they are quite a motly crew. I expect someone to dissappear.
I've been busy though I plan regularly to get more pictures up. My other LFS called me last night and their supplier have a XL mantis for sale an OS. I think my tank is better suited to this little guy. I haven't been able to see him use his bashers even once yet. I was hoping for more aggressiveness and gore but a peaceful tank does have it's advantages.
I'm growing tons of tiny pond snails in my FW tank so if he does turn a little wild I'll have plenty of food for him.
Where's Dr. Roy? And again whats a meral spot and where is it supposed to be?
