mantis are a pain when you don't want them...... I gotta ask..... how many does this make? how long has the rock been in the tank?

If you bought your rock at the LFS, I might never buy rock from there again! Well at least you have an excuse to break out the camos :)

Dang! I have been wishing I would get one so I can set up a mantis tank, and here you are getting them all.LOL
Well good luck getting it out, and hope it's an easy removal for you.

This one makes 7 Acer. I've had most of the rock for a couple of years now.But I've been slowly adding more live rock for the past 3 months.

You could say that I dont actually buy the rock.I go in and volunteer some time when I can and I get paid by having my pick of any livestock in the store.
Guess when I get rid of this mantis,I'll just go with dry base for the rest of my rock:grumble:
BTW
I already knew the risks of getting another mantis.Were all the time getting mantis shrimp with the live rock shipments,and we generally feed them to the wrasses we have in the store.
Bobby,Your welcome to him if I can catch him alive.

If you dont want to setup the other tank you could just get some rubbermaid tubs.
