Mantis Shrimp

that is what i have heard as well. if it were me, i would not risk it.

But is it worth the risk though is the question. I was talking to some at AD and they said he had a customer that had one it shattered the front. He said that when they snap the claws is like 22 bullet coming out.

I'm no fool. If I decide to get a mantis I'll get an acrylic tank for it. Acrylic tanks are harder to come by I thought. I'm still reading up on it. Seems like they are fairly easy to care for. Especially if you are already experienced with reef tanks.

There used to be an LFS up here in Austin that had a beautiful peacock mantis about 6" in a small acrylic cube (10-gal?). Made a really cool species showpiece.
