Can i keep a mantis in my sump? It has Normal Output flourescent lighting and tons of caulerpa and copepods. Will he harm the pods or plants?
 
my mantis livecd in the sump with theu pumps etc for over a year. Just give him a peice of PVC pipe or something to use as a burrow
 
Hi Gold,

It shouldn't cause any major problem in your sump. It might eat larger worms and pods. Mine also has pruned a lot of macro algae and replanted it while making it's den. Most of it has rerooted and started to grow where it's been placed though.

hth!
