Re: Whos Gots A Mantis???
Thanks Victor, I can always count on you to set me straight.
I started to watch the last video, but like most guys my attention span is about as long as a pigs hair!
That video is >13 minutes!:bugout:
I felt like I was back in college lecture hall!

Re: Whos Gots A Mantis???
Now you are in trouble. You made me remember what my password is over there.
Seriously though uploading pics to your RS gallery appears to be very similar to what RC is showing me. (Sorry I've never uploaded to RC.) Just go to Photo Gallery up top then to My Photos then upload photos. It brings up a page where you browse for the pics give them names and categories etc. Looks like RS allows bigger pics too. RC is telling me the limit is 50k. I think the regular member on RS is 200k and Premium is 300k.
Anyway the biggest problem with the RC link is that you have to log on to RC to see the pics. Some people may not have an account there or be like me and forget the stupid password.
Nice pics though. Your tank looks extremely full. Looks very happy and healthy.

Re: Whos Gots A Mantis???
I have a tiny mantis.
He came in on my LR from Tampa Bay Salt Water.
He is just 1 inch long by 1/4 inch wide. All black with a little green marking in the front. He came out of his burrow for the first time that I have seen yesterday. I tried to get some pics but they did not turn out so good as he is so small.
Given the rock is from the gulf of Mexico I believe he is Neogonodactylus wennerae. He is certainly a smasher. When he was out last nioght he was working on the rock spong just above his burrow. You could hear him but he is not load at all as he is so tiny.
I think he is pretty cool and plan on raising this baby as my own!

Re: Whos Gots A Mantis???
I also got mine in TBS live rock. Hes about the same size, but green. I believe hes a 'smasher' still hasn't left his cave much. I'm going to try feeding again tonight, see if i cant get a photo.
He's in a 5gal octagon refugium - lr, ls, cheto, mangroves. mantis paradise.
Wish I got one of these!
