Hi Flusher,

I've only had my Mantis for a month so it's hard to say. When I first got him he was a little more active, but that's probably because he was exploring the tank and digging out his lair. It took about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to molt and since then he has stayed on or mostly in the piece of Live Rock.

Hopefully once he gets larger he will also become more outgoing and spend more time outside of the Live Rock.

Great job on your tank by the way. Looks like a nice home for a Mantis and you did some great DIY work on that tank as well!

The aipstasia is a super cheap (read: free) alternative to corals. They attach immediately, so I never really have to put my hands in the tank to straighten frags that get knocked over and risk getting smacked in the fingers. Also, it cuts back on mixing new water since I use old water from my larger nano reef when changing water in this tank. Aipstasia is a great natural filter.

I've had my mantis for about 7 weeks, so maybe it isn't quite at home yet.

Let's see some pics of your set-up, Molino. (Aw, I just saw a pic on RC.com. Ha ha.)
