i figured out why i don't like these things they looks like overgrown cockroaches on steroids *uugghhh* i will hopefully never encounter one in my tank *keeps fingers crossed*

 

[navyguyame]

Right i am thinking the same thing if i do find one he will come out. So far so good it been 2 months now. I also used dry base rock with one small piece of live rock so I hope one didnt hitch a ride on it.

I think mantis' are one of the neatest creatures in the reef, but pestering them with a finger is a highly questionable idea....but it delivers the lulz.

Pestering a mantis is a lot like throwing rocks at a hornets nest.Sooner or later,your gonna wish you'd had better sense.

It reminds me of when my father tried to pet the eel. And he didn't even learn the first time. :shock:

 

[AdeptMrSniffles]

[Dana42078]

Mine might break your lil finga! Not work 100 cash and 500 in medical bills.

 

[reeftanker84]

haha yea no kidding,i fed mine by hand but he was only about 1 to 1 1/2 inches,he never hit me though,guess we were buddys lol

 

[yote]

A 1" mantis hittin your finger is kinda like touching an electric fence.It'll tingle your toes.If Danas mantis hit you,you might as well break out the suture kit.You'll probably draw back a nub.

Get a better idea of how strong they really are and how they work....
