But i obviously dont come topside much anymore...I just now noticed the Mantis room gone! bummer..I dont know why it would be removed..maybe locked for archive but i think there was some useful info there..That and im prolly the only one still keeping a Mantis as a pet

I was gonna get a mantis, but I can't find any here (I live in Phoenix)

But we *did* get a reef lobster and he's pretty cool

Shame about the mantis board...I don't think it had any new posts for quite some time though.

I lived in Phoenix most of my life..we've talked about that...I asked where you graduated from :wink: .... I got mine from flseagull (a member here and havent seen him here in quite sometime now) ive had my mantis over a year now...Such intelligent creatures...My observations tell me they are highly intelligent for inverts and very calculating..mine even cohabitates with a percula clown a sea urching and a choco starfish and a very small brittle star (green i think but its still to small to determine)..But my LFS can special order O. Scyllarus (peacocks mantis)..they go, last i checked, for about 50 bucks...kinda high but you know if you cant find one. also maybe browsing www.grimreefers.com you might find someone who can get one if you're that interested

The forum was merged with this one because of lack of activity in the Mantis forum.
