I came home to a dead mantis today. Its tank is hooked up to my main system with the intake and drain going into my sump. My SPS and anemones are healthy in my main tank, why would my mantis die? It just molted a few days ago, and I did a water change in my system 2 days ago, I am guessing someting happended with the water change. I have a 1 year old daughter who sometimes bangs on the mantis tank, I am fixing that with a lock soon. I also just added a engineer goby to the mantis tank so it could have quick access to food. Any ideas? An engineer goby couldn't hurt a mantis I am sure. (please don't waste your time flameing me about feeding the goby to my mantis, I've had enouph of that already)

My first guess would be stress from the molt.
