Where did you get the mantis? Looks more like G. smithii to me. Nice find.

Bought it from sealifeinc.net , I think they are KP Aquatics now

Maybe it's N. oerstedii then. N. wennerae have white meral spots.

Will work on a pircing list later today for current contents.

Would it be possible for us to have editing abilities for our contest threads so we can edit the first post with pricing, and current tank shots , that way we arent having to seacrch the entire thread for pricing info ?

OK , so just after my last post the mantis (Mr. Bigglesworth) went into hiding. It was determined that he was going through a molt , so the waiting game began. I read that it could be just a matter of days , or possibly up to a week before he showed himself again and that I needed to keep the tank as stable as possible. So , I made sure that the ATO stayed full and I kept the lights dim just in case he ventured out while I was away. Well last night (4 days later) I caught a glimpse of him popping his head out of his tubes.

The molt was a success !!! :bounce:

It will still be a bit before he is out and about on a regular basis, but that's ok by me.
