Well I was posting in another forum so I had these pics on hand. I thought you guys in the mantis forum wouldnt mind haven a look. This mantis came in my LR at the first of the year. He was red and stayed red for about 7 months. I caught him out of my main tank and put him in a 12 gallon tank pretty much just for him. after being in this tank for a few months he came out yesterday sporting his brand new green shell

I'm not sure if the lighting change did it or what, but he looks pretty wild. He went from 20kMh to 10Pc & atinics. I know they change color it just kinda of caught me off guard. I have 2 more still in my dislplay tank and they are both still red.

Thanx,

Yeah he looks pretty wild, the picks dont really do the color justice, he looks like he would glow in the dark lol. To bad N.weens dont come out at night, I bet he would look wild under my moonlights
