Hi, I recently got a peacock mantis about a week and a half ago. It's about 3in long and currently housed in a 20g aio tank. It hasn't eaten since bringing it home and I'm not sure if that is normal or not. It doesn't seem overly active either. It has a deep sand bed and a pile of live rock and rubble to build with, along with some PVC tubing. It went right to work and piled the PVC with rock rubble to make it's home but hasn't come out much since. The tank was seeded with sand, rock, water and bio media from my current reef. I have been doing 5g water changes weekly as well. I have offered it emerald crabs, hermits, small snails, and frozen krill with no luck. Any thoughts or anything else I can try, I'm not sure how long they go with out eating. Thanks!
