Hey, kids. Well, I lent my mantis trap to a local reefer, and he ended his long-term hunt to trap this guy, so he gave him to me in return for use of the trap. (Thanks Fred!)
Well, he's about 2.5" smasher, and I caught him/her hanging out right by the glass and was able to snap a ton of pics. It's in its own 12 gal tank with my chocolate chip feeder stars (yep, got a harlequin, too)
The pictures are pretty close to true color but he's actually more richer, tomato-red, with the exception of his smashers: they have a neon pink edge to them that's great that's not too apparent in these pics. He was hanging out of his den, leaning on a rock with his smasher extended, but missed the shot.
Any have an ID?
