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

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.

I saw my first mantis a couple weeks ago at Concept and they are so unbelievably cool looking creatures! Yours is beautiful and I love the tank set up you have!! Good luck with her, sounds like a bit of a character already!!
