lol! huuu I think I'll pass

Especially that smashers also have a small spear that is still big enough to go through a finger, if she decide to use it. That should hurt! She made it clear by showing them to me once while she was cleaning herself.

I was brave enough to let my pet tarentula spider sleep on my neck but I am quite afraid of letting the mantis hit me.

I used to give my male peacock a selection of non-reef safe crabs from when Colby would get in shipments. Anything that dropped from corals or live rock he'd save for me. Also, turbo snails as well as a couple cheaper fish added movement and eventually he ate them. For the regular feedings I used thawed shrimp and clams. He went crazy for them.

Keep her water clean, those feedings pollute water quickly!

Enjoy,
Scott

that thing is gorgeous. i've always been interested in keeping one in a small tank but they sound quite pricey to feed.

pricy to feed? not so far. I buy saltwater snails for human consumption at Kim Phat store. I pay 1.50$ for around 30 that can last a bit

As for other food, it's not so expensive to give a tawed shrimp either. I also buy fresh mussel cut them in half and freeze them.
