thanks for the comments, he's a real killer, my other mantis ate up half of my poor chromis, these creatures are very mean and i would not recommend putting anything else in the same tank, but there colors are awsome!!!

yeah so far he's good, he loves emerald crabs, he killed one last night and it was crazy to see her destroy it, yes i had to special order it, and it was very difficult and took a while as well.. i ordered a small but got a large, but im happy with her so far.....thanks all

It isn't living in your sump permanantly I hope. I had a mantis tank for about a year and a half and it was by far the most intelligent creature I've dealt with so far.
