It has been a long time after my last post but the journey ends here. After almost 4 years my mantis "closed" his eyes and is hunting ghost shrimp till eternity.

The tank will now be a home to some small fish and LPS

Wow, 4 years. Sorry he passed. It's tough losing a mantis. You are one of the few hobbyists that has ever kept a Peacock for that long. Best of luck to you in the future. I'm sure there'll be another Peacock somewhere down the line

The peacock pays some interest but doesn't chase the wrasse so that's good.
I picked a six-line because of it's character and hope he can save it's a$$ if needed

The 6-line wrasse and your shrimp may fight a little bit
