need a mantis ID!!!

[scarletknight06]

I got this guy for a small zoo frag at an LFS, hoping to put him in my fuge for my 30cube that I am setting up tomorrow. Can I get an ID and an estimate on how big he will get and anything else I need to know? smasher?

I think oddball is right, looks similar to my G.c. Assuming that ID is correct, yes it is a smasher. I believe they will only be 3-4 inches tops.

so what should i know as far as care and feeding?

As with any fish/coral/invert you should do your homework before you buy it... but since you've already got it you should start reading up:
