Peacock Mantis that size is full grown. Peacock mantis are also way bigger in size then the other small variety Mantis out there. Even though you dont see them selling in Edmonton like ever, $70 is really steep price for this one.

I just purchased a Peacock Mantis last week for around $40 at ReefWerks (www.reefwerkz.ca) . I know they currently dont have them in stock but you can request a special order. Talk to Russ or Ryan over there.

The Peacock Mantis is definitely the most colorful and fasinating, alien like creatures to have. But they do have to be in a large tank on their own. They can't be with any fish, corals, or inverts, they kill everything they can get there smasher on.
