For all those interested in purchasing a mantis shrimp, let me give some needed advice. I have collected-studied all types of mantis shrimps. By far the best species to watch and interact with are the peacock mantis shrimps(Odontodactylus sp.). This species is far less nervous than other species, and I believe that their vision is better than most species as well. This species will ultimately interact the most with its owner and its environment. To get to the point, the most enjoyable mantis to keep, in my opinion, is the peacock mantis. I have purchased a few in the past from Flying Fish Express. These shrimps are well worth the price.
