G'day all =)

My friend who lives down the coast has gave me a call today to let me know that he found a mantis in his Live Rock and wishes for me to take it (this is the same friend that gave me Shockwave the G.falcatus) from the pic he gave me I am fairly certain that it is another G.falcatus!

The meral spot is kind of visible and its the same colors/pattern that shockwave has (large white circle with a slightly smaller yellow circle on top of it).

Here is the supplied pic, you can just make out the meral spot.

More to come!

You might want to think about expanding your new system just a little bit.....

The stands are adjustable by splitting the tanks again if need be.

As it stands rite now.

STAND A can house 6 stomatopods (2 per tank as each tank has a divider)
STAND B can house 4 stomatopods (2 in top tank and 1 in each tank below it)
STAND C can house 2 stomatopods (1 in each tank)

however, with some fiddling about.

STAND A is at its maximum potential.
STAND B can hold an additional 2 stomatopods by dividing both the middle and bottom tanks.
STAND C can also hold an additional 2 stomatopods by having there tanks split in halves.

As is rite now with the "perm" dividers in place I can hold a total of 12 stomatopods, with additional dividers I can hold a max of 16 animals.

To note although I have included Zuzu in my overall scheme for the systems I do NOT plan on keeping him within it, he may reside in one compartment for a time but in the end he will be placed in his own tank away from the rest as I hope for his tank to also house my coral.

If mantis shrimp attack and try to take over the world in the form of a large army I am pointing the authorities to your post!
