Mantis Shrimp in Nanocube

[CrazyLionfish]

What would you recommend for a 12 gallon nanocube? A smasher or a slasher? I would like a colorful hardy species that doesn't get too big that is in whatever one of these categories (smasher/slasher) you think would be best for my tank.

Thanks

For a spearer I would say a P. Ciliata they come in a varity of colors and are a hardy spearer but it seems to be harder to come by in trade. I was lucky enough to get one really. For a smasher I would say a N. wennerae, this is are hardy and small smasher usually from the gulf area.

I like the orange version of the P. Ciliata, but I'm leading toward the N. wennerae. The N. wennerae is the "coloring" I've always wanted and IMO one of the coolest ones. A representative from Floradapets.com said he was going to a wholesaler show tommrow and asked me if I wanted him to pick up a mantis for me. I knew which one I wanted, but didn't know the scientific name, and it was the N. wennerae!

Thanks for the help.
