I'm taking the slight risk and using a 29g biocube. I put a piece of acrylic on the bottom of the tank so it should be protected. The sides won't be but it's apparently very rare for even large 7" mantis's to break glass. We'll see though. :) I may be shopping for an all acrylic tank soon lol.

They creep me out. I watched videos of them and they scared me to death! I think have a nautilus phobia. Nautilphobia if you will. :P

How can a nautilus scare you? I think aliens look like Mantis shrimp. Those things are just beastly.

Have you seen videos of them swimming around? While a Mantis may be odd, I can see it being from this planet. The nautilus is straight up a spawn of Cthulhu! Pure evil!

Yup, I saw it a while back. When I saw it I knew I wanted one.
