Do we have any vendors that can get some of the smaller species of mantis? I had these guys (haptosquilla best I could tell) in my last tank and they added an awesome dynamic; extremely interesting to watch, werent destructive, and were just plain cool.

If you find a place to buy one please do let us know.

Another mantis article, sadly without a source for purchase (his was bought locally in Fla.)

Quantum Reefs had two mantis shrimp in a few weeks back, they may be able to special order specific varieties!
