That was also a thought I had, pretty sure its not done anything naughty and with the
piece of rock he's in is at bottom of some very large not to mention supporting pieces. I may let him hang and see what happens. But when my prized fish go mia can I have your blessing on trapping it. He, glad that you said you had one makes me relax a bit. I agree I do not relish the thought of cature and kill. Pretty nasty, mostly cause I am scared.

I got a mantis off of a concerned reefer and promptly took it home and set up an aquapod for it..
I put in 3 small yellow tail damsels and a couple rock crabs and they are all still alive after a couple of weeks and the mantis eats mysis and whatever food gets near his hole but no animosity in him at all so far. The mantis is super cool, although secretive, I would bever even notice him in my large display as he does the rock door trick too. I'm going to add a couple shrimps and see if that doesn't entice some hunter behavior. I honestly have my doubts. I also understand there are numerous sub species of mantis and all are different in the habitat they have adapted to live in so everyones experience may vary.
