You can send it to me and I will post a video of it playing with my Peacock Mantis if you want :scared: :hilarious

He will probably go after your hermit crabs, other slow moving inverts and corals if you have any. They basically don't play well with others and can do a lot of damage.

I wouldn't add any corals if I were you. They like to snip off polyps of whatever and stick them to themselves for decoration aka camoflauge!

They are quite capable of killing unsuspecting fish. In my tank, one apparently knew which fish were the most expensive and killed them in that order. I got so mad that I took him back to work at the warehouse. We put him in a bare tank and poured in a bunch of pellet food. After he had completely covered himself with it, we put him in a 50 gallon with about 500 hungry damsels.
