WAY cool, Megan! congrats!
we feed the smashers the occasional hermit, small snails like ceriths, even limpets that we collect from our reef's
fuge. othertwise it's various frozen fare, or pieces of fresh raw table shrimp.
oh...just in case ya don't know, mantises are very sensitive to even the fumes of household cleaners, paint, etc., so be careful with them. we don't use anything in the same room as the mantis setups.
the scyllaris IS probably Renee's fave tank, altho the lions are her other thrill. i think she'd be hard-pressed to choose...
