Default peacock mantis

you will love the mantis (is it an O.Scyllarus? i find sometimes the name peacock is given to random mantis shrimps at pet stores) i kept a scyllarus for a few years and absolutely loved it, truly amazing and fascinating creatures- bizarre looking with brilliant colors, very interactive with the bringer of food and other tank visitors (meaning people, any actual tank visitors were welcomed with a swift and brutal bludgeoning by the cocky mantis very impressive and fun to watch sorry my good snails and crabs you died honorably and left behind cool looking smashed shells for the mantis to decorate his always unfinished lair) and the intelligence of these things will blow your mind sometimes! anyway take good care of it and enjoy, i miss having one- RIP Bruce!
