Picture of my Mantis.

[Fuegan]

Picture I took this evening of my Mantis taking food from my Mithrax Crab when I was feeding the tank.

This one is of the Mantis realising there was food...

cute lil guy. what was the food?

 

[Fuegan]

I fed Mysis last night. The Mantis seems to be interested in eating anything thrown into the tank...

Very pretty mantis. My G. Grapherus also comes out to munch Mysis when I feed the damsel.

Fuegan, what species is that?

 

[Fuegan]

Looks like Haptosquilla Stoliura or a closely related species.
Isnt too rough on the clean up crew. Takes frozen food with gusto... steals the food from my peppermint shrimp and Mithrax crab rather than eating them.

Does like to eat fish though. The cheap fish I toss in from time to time usually last a week or so before mysteriously vanishing.
