10g aggressive tank

And then it went down.

Finally got this bad boy home.







I'm doing a massive water change as I type this up.

I don't have anything for him to eat yet but I did put in about 10 DIBS turbo snails so I hope he eats that.

Videos and more pictures to come!

Let me know what you guys think.

awesome dude. good luck to your fingers.

[myjohnson]

lol, I let it snap at me. It didn't even hurt.

The mantis is only like 2.5 inches dude.

[newb]

how big will it get.

[myjohnson]

Totally not sure yet. I have to do some research to determine this.

For now, I think it's the smasher type. Smasher types tend to be more common b/c they come in LR.

Smasher also tend to be smaller. If I had to guess this thing can grow to a max of maybe 4''-6''.

I'm buy crabs for the mantis to fight.

I'm debating whether I really need these hermits crabs in my nano reef are not.

98% sure it's some type of smasher.
