[gozermantis]

Great looking mantis. I have to share a story, and I only just setup my peacock tank about 2-3 weeks ago. This was just after a move and I couldnt find a place in my smaller temporary reef tank, so I set a feather duster in the mantis tank. My guy came out to inspect and when the crown of the duster jerked back in, the peacock seemed startled and ripped the crown off! He then ran around and through his cave with the crown, almost looked like a wig! How long have you had the feather dusters in there? Does he seem interested?

[gozermantis]

nope none so far. they have been in there for a bout 2 weeks now she checks them out a lil but never touched them or smacked them. i also just got some green trumpet coral and some zoo's which she doesnt bother either.

I have a hitch-hiker feather duster that is embedded in a rock hole. My chiragra would have to bash the large rock in two to get at it. I think as long as the worm's tube is inside of a large rock they will be ok.

here is the tank now.
