| Scopas Tang | Hi guys, just a update after tearing down my 80g i put some of the LR in to my mantis tank, after the first night of it being in there i heard the tapping noise so i went up to the tank with a flash light and there it was a mantis. It is dark in colour with light colour bands on it, havent been able to get any picys of it yet but as soon as i do i will post them. A very happy Sarah xxxx

| Golden Moray  | Sarah, For a couple of weeks, always approach the tank slowly. Every time you do, give it a TINY treat. It won't take long at all for it to come out for you.
