I really would love to have a mantis, and I was wondering if there is a species that would be suited to live in an eclipse 6g? I will eventually be upgrading the tank, but for now, a 6g is the best I can do.

the tank will have rock and a SSB, a koralia, and some macro algae and coral. I am planning to also keep an astrea snail for algae control (though I know it is likely that it will get smashed).

would a mantis bother a serpent starfish? I might get a smaller one (to be moved when it gets bigger).

I just finished adding rock, and the tank has quite a bit of room for the mantis in front, as well as several hiding spots in the back and sides. I have decided against a serpent star.

wennerae would be a nice choice
