61/2 inch and bashing anything that moves. He's my pride and joy. Anyone else have pics to share??
 
what species is that beauty?

i'd love to get a smasher of that size, I could only hope to get one with those colors.
 
WOW! that is ONE beautiful mantis! Mine is just pinkish brown with a little green on his smashers.
Where did you get him?

I got him from noidster. Thanks noidster! He's is a peacock mantis or a large O. Scyallarus. i had him for about 1 year now. this anenome and gold striped clown live with him in a 12 gal. eclipse.
 
The anenome has been in the tank for about 4 months now and no problems yet. Though i did witness my mantis lightly shoving the anenome with it's forearms a few days ago. I don't think that the anenome is doing very well under 13 watt pc lighting. Tommarow i am moving it to my 20 gallon reef tank so it will thrive better.
 
I was doing some searching about mantis shrimps' relationships with anenomes, and I came across this thread. Basically, can mantis shrimps live with anenomes? I have a bubble tip anenome that has just split. I'm going to remove all my corals from the tank, but I am leaving the anenomes in. Any thoughts? Thanks.
