    They'll have to be hardy corals that don't mind being occasionally turned upside-down, mauled and man-handled. I gave him palys, leathers, gsp and shrooms and such. The guy in the pics above actually buried the corals in sand. He is a spearer. My peacock was the one that really dragged them around.

    well to be honest I don't know if I want to do the mantis or not. I do want to have coral, but yet dont want to waste money if the mantis is gonna create all kinds of trouble with them. I also had plans of putting a PAR30 or PAR38 light on the tank and my understanding is that mantis prefer lower light.
