I have a 47 gallon cube that I set up with a few spare parts and now it's home to my peacock mantis.

She is very personable and out all the time. There is also 2 gbta's, puffer and a dottyback in there with her. They all get along great! The dottyback actually stays in her cave with her and helps move sand out.

There's some zoas and waving hand in there. It's hard because anything that is smaller she will move it into her cave. I've even glued stuff to the rocks and if she likes it she will smash it until it's free and move it to where she wants. Hahaha

Really cool I had two of these guys. I had one that was a yellow mid Atlantic mantis peacock. Very cool creatures I'm actually waiting to find another baby rainbow peacock and by him again. I like them so much I have a tattoo of one on the middle of my are with my coral sleeve.
