Coral Dilema
04/03/2008, 04:13 PM
Hey guys, I know the peacock is the best recommendation for a mantis beginner, but I dont want to take the chance of putting a smasher in a glass tank, and cant really afford an acrylic at the moment, Im thinking 18 inch cube or an 18X24X16 or so tank. I will be migrating some of the easier, lower light requiring corals from my 75 gallon into the mantis tank so I want to get a reasonably sized tank anyway. Ive seen videos of the Pseudosquilla ciliata and the black eyes against the yellow backgroud of its body color is cool. Plus, having an animal that can change its color and markings with each molt will be nice too. So, Is there anything in particular I should know about this species, other than the general information im getting about all manti. Im going to post this over on stomatopod.com as well, once my account is activated. Been waiting 15 minutes on the confirmation e-mail from registering.
