Mantis needs new home!

[uslanja]

Just caught this little guy; about 1 1/2 inches long and just across the border from Buffalo New York. Being as he has been eating crabs that I wanted to keep, he needs to move on. Available for pick up if anyone wants him. Much nicer in person than his photo.

If he is a smasher...

I would set up a small tank, some larger crushed coral and rock rubble substrate, possibly some rock with holes. A simple power compact lamp is fine, lots of bright light isnt real good for em.- (again, thats just I would do, I like these guys)
adding some cool algeas and corals would be fine too.

Im just saying they are very easy to take care of and very entertaining. Theres also the educational aspect. Most people dont even know about em, let alone get to see one.

Maybe even a place in the sump?

check out the mantis forum, they are pretty cool creatures.

Hello Everyone! The mantis has found a new home! He was a very intriguing character but I just didn't have any place for him!

Thanks for all of your help!
