my new mantis is a wussy!!

[Flusher]

Keep snails and crabs in the tank with the mantis as often as possible. Sometimes it takes awhile before the mantis kills anything, but if there's nothing for it to punch at, it might lose it's punching claws ("dactyls"). They take awhile to regrow.

[CLINT]

Well I dont see the hermit today so its dead or still hiding in there.Ill pick up some krill see if hes interested.CLINT

If you've been feeding him very regularly, he may not be hungry. Mine disappears for days at a time. Sounds normal.

pictures pictures!

I would feed him a mix of stuff. mostly frozen silversides, frozend shrimp, and less regularly various snails or hermits. if you have easy access to beaches, you could add some shore crabs to the list.
