Wanted - SPS Skeleton

[Chelsey]

Relatively shortly I will be getting a mantis that naturally tunnels into large sps skeletons, specifically pocillopora and stylophora. Since I do not have either of those types of coral and have not had any of them die on me, I do not have any skeletons laying around for this little guy to hang out in. While he won't die without it, I think it'd be kind of cool to have as natural a habitat as possible for him. The mantis will be roughly 2.5" long when I get him but the maximum size for these guys is 4.5". I know this is a relatively long shot, but does anyone have a decent sized stylophora or pocillopora skeleton laying around? I'll take what I can get, but if you've got one ~8" in diameter that would be perfect Thanks!

i have a fist size old birdsnest that is starting to grow gsp...
you want that?

I am afraid that might be too small. The mantis I'm getting will be 2 1/4" and I would like him to have enough room to build a decent tunnel, and if I didn't have to force an upgrade on him when he got bigger it might be better. Thanks for the offer though, I appreciate it!

PS: How's your fraglet (kid) doing?

I have some wiffle(sp?) ball size ones and misc. if you wanted to make more of a pile of skeletons.

LFS usually have a bunch of dead skeletons.
