any mantis will eat all your inverts.. They are fine with coral for the most pat though
Ok Dude, thank you. I hear and feel him/her knocking . Will give it to some one.

it look like this one http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/crustacea/malacostraca/eumalacostraca/royslist/species.php?name=g_falcatus
Very basic on colours, it don't look that bad against fish, but against crustaceans and snails (which I have in the tank) isn't good....
Will see, probably some one will be interested in ;)

You should definitely be able to find someone interested and easily! While that’s a simple colored mantis it is pretty beautiful. I would definitely take it if I were close to you.

Good for you Dude, just I don't like creatures which will impact other in my tank xD
If you are from UK, I'll post it to you ;) (for sure will arrive alive)

Unfortunately I’m in the US. You could probably bring it to your local fish store for some credit there if you don’t want to try and find a direct buyer for it!
 
I'd suggest leaving it in the tank, they're awesome to observe and add a ton of character. They stay small (provided your ID is correct and I believe it is) and only go after the tiny inverts. I had haptosquilla trispinosa in my last reef (three of them) and they were hands down my favorite thing in the tank. Mantis caught an unwarranted bad rap somehow but they're beyond awesome. Hoping to get some more with a Tampa Bay live rock purchase for the 150g so I dont have to purchase them separately.

Sorry to hear that (from the point I can't send it to you alive...), I don't bought it..., it come in with peace of LR (I'm buying cracked peaces, to be able to get some inverts (I found many that way), which normally I con't find to buy xD

I got it Dude, but unfortunately I don't want to see anything in my system which is able to kill another creature..., it can grow up to 8cm..., in my NANO (for the moment) 30L only it will be too big after while.
Like I have a problem with the CUC hermits in my DT.., they are going after everything new there..., they kill and start to eat one clam (sea black clam which after very long time in QT I put in the DT to see do it will be fine) ...., now in the future if I want to put any beautiful clam..., I have to go rid of the crabs there ...
So I have that mantis for giving away xD
