Meet Tiny!!!

[ReefSilly]

Here is my new baby

I went to my lfs and it was love at first site!
I went home took down the ten gal. then took the LR out of
the 20 gal. grab fish and shrimp place them in there new homes.
The Shrimp and neon goby went to the 55 gal. the blenny and watchman
went to the 125 gal. I already have a big watchman in the 55 gal.
Done a water change & cleaned the LR; some went back to my lfs when
I went to pick Tiny up to take him home.

Tinys new home will be the 20 gal.
I made him a cave and left some small pieces in there for him to arrange some. Saturday he was real shy ( the day I brought him home ) but when Sunday came around he has got my whole tank in an mess. He will also follow me around and begs for food. He gets up like a mantis and bobs his head up and down till you feed him. I think he is 4 1/2 in. long my husband said around 5 to 6 in. but neither one of us wants to measure him.

wow, rainbow mantis are few and far between! all the years I went to the wholesalers weekly and I never saw one.

Shweet!!! I have always thought Manits were the coolest things since I saw one when I started the hobby. There is a store near me that has a black one about 1-1.5 inches long. Real cute guy! Keep pictures posted and can we have a FTS?

[goldenmean]

Oh he is too handsome. Just stunning!!

I have 3 Neogondactylu Wennerae that came in my TBS LR.
2 of the mantis are in my 55g and one I have in my sump. The Sump mantis is awaiting a local reefer to get his tank set up then I will have only the 2.
My guys will only get to 3 inches in length.
No where near the size of your beauty or will they have the amazing colors!

Odontodactylus scyllarus / Clown / Peacock Mantis
Rainbow Mantis: Pseudosquilla ciliata is a yellow mantis Patrick

Thanks Guys I have been watching TV in that room alot and Tiny seems to like the TV. too.

I will get a FTS for you Tangboy but he has messed the tank up pretty good by now.

Patrick my lfs grab him at a wholesalers and before he could enjoy him I grab him.

Tiny already knows the difference between me and my husband.

Very nice addition!! do you know if they go good with butter and lemon? JK

[atlantic reefer]

very nice. don't ya wish you had another?

[cUddlefish]

I got one many years ago that came from the same areas that TBS rock comes from and it was closer to 8 inches. I did not know what it was at the time and I actually held it in my hand several times. I still have all my fingers.
