Saturday afternoon 5 pack.

Here are 5 pictures of my 30g cube reef acrylic tank. With my beloved peacock mantis shrimp. Enjoy.

Very kewl...I've always wondered what it'd be like to keep a mantis. I really like the arrangement you've made. Is the mantis the only resident other than the corals?

I thought that mantis will eat any form of life in a tank!!!!

Nope.
In fact since it is a smasher it would probably leave nudibranches, and most echinoderms alone.

I'd love some up-close pics of the little thing. Looks to have great coloring! Boy or girl? I want one for my 30g!

Its a mantis only reef. I still dont understand how the cleaner shrimp has not be found, hes hiding in the rocks
My mantis shrimp doesnt harm any corals.
And im not sure if hes male or female but i named him Jhock

Ah. I read some posts on GrimReefers dot com (Is that allowed, since they're not SELLING anything? I dunno. Fuzzy on that rule!) that were really informative and showed how to --- them... They have an entire forum dedicated to matis keeping! Cool stuff.
