    Really?  I'll bet it was the critter that was doing the clicking though so I stand by my "I told you so"  :)

    What I mean is that my mantis is hands down more handsome than yours  :)

    By the way, if it's possible (and if you care at all) try to get a pic of the mantis' tail. I might need it to get you an i.d. :)

    Annick,

    I only got a fleeting glimpse as she darted from one rock to another, but I will keep my camera handy, in case I can get a full body shot :)

    She? Named the beast already have you? :)

    Happy belated birthday by the way. I spaced and forgot that you're a half a day ahead and I missed my chance. Sorry dear :(

    Mantis, probably a smasher as it looks like a Peacock to me. I'm no expert but based on a review of other photos.

    Will grow and make a snack out of your Hawkfish and inverts John. Good luck getting it out of your tank!
