Mantis Substrate

[One_Divided]

Ok.. I got a mantis today.. He's about 4-5 inches and is bright green with a bit of red.. I have an established 10gallon set up for him that I used to use for curing rock..

Big mistake: sugar sand! As soon as he hit the water.. dig dig dig.. cloudy as can be..I realised I need a thicker substrate for him or else this will happen to the tank every time he rearranges.. What would you guys say is a good heavier grain substrate that won't cloud too much?
