Hey Guys,
I have a newly aquired small mantis (about 3/4 inch) in a 5G tak with a bunch of medium-sized hermits. He's made a home in one of the empty hermit shells.
Problem is that the shell is knocked around a few times a day by the large hermits. In moulting time, would this disturbance stress and kill the mantis?
I have a piece of solid lava rock in there (not live rock), but the mantis always uses the shell instead of burrowing under the larger rock.
Any input?
Thanks!!
Michael
