FS maybe G Smithii Mantis

[hurley]

in my tank he has a cave hed always go to and close up with rock rubble at night. during the day he just climbs around on the rocks, doesnt hide when you walk by the tank or anything. he has lived with clown fish and damsels. he seems to like to eat nassurus snails and small hermits, I never fed him frozen food, and i always had about 5 snails in the tank with him. never really named him though

How often was he fed, and did you just feed him snails and hermits?

[hurley]

just hermits and snails, and they were always in the tank

[michika]

Sorry, I will have to pass, I don't want to feed hermits and snails. Good luck though finding him a nice new home.
