Just set up my 125 to house a Mantis I made a PVC cave with 3 openings and just built the rock and softies around it
Had a Mantis in the past and to this day he was my favorite pet, more then anything I liked watching him explore and set up his cave with decorations I put some fake gems in and he put them all over his cave
He even had one as a door mat and would swap the mat out from time to time I felt like I could always tell he had some thought going on behind his funny eyes
mine had a few fish friends he didn’t bother (clowns a damsel and some wrasse but I would have never tried a bottom dweller like a goby) and also a huge brittle start buddy…. Hoping the shrimp I get this time around will be as friendly because I’d like to add acouple fish down the road and there is already a big brittle in here
what tanks mates do you guys have with yours ? Ever had one inadvertently damage soft coral? I had some Kenya trees with my old one that he didn’t bother
