Mantis shrimp questions

[beefchicken31]

can mantis shrimp be kept with corals?
do they only eat live foods?
do you know of any good links?
Is there any species small enough for a 5 gallon tank?

Re: Mantis shrimp questions

Yes. They can be kept with corals.

No. They don't need to be fed only live food. Mine takes frozen krill. Lots of people seem to feed theirs mysis. They lose their smashers if they don't get used, so feed them snails or crabs once in awhile.
