He was a gift from a friend and came with a JBJ 28 Nano Cube.
He was very active tonight but not cooperating with the camera much. He prefers raw shrimp over anything but will hunt down ghosties and has been wrecking the clean up crew over the past few days. I know I'm down at least one snail and most of the hermits. The shrimp gets eaten about every 5-7 days, otherwise it is tossed out of his PVC pipe.
The full tank shot I have is not Photography Forum quality so the link is below. I left a good bit of the algae stay on the back wall for the turbo.
You can see the 3 new rocks I added as well. http://imgur.com/xJMaiww

He might prefer more length than depth as he gets older/larger. These guys make awesome tunnels under the rock. Had mine in a 40br and i was amazed at the home he made for himself

Welcome to Saltwater
How big is he and how big can he get? And of course no shrimp, snails or crabs and fish larger than him I presume? Thanks he is so cool looking

This is a great place for information on stomatopods, also know as mantis shrimp. Click on Odontodactylus scyllarus for more information on peacock mantis in particular
