The Neopgonodactylus Wennerae max out at 3" and come in greens and reds. They will build burrows under live rock in the sand. Mantis will accept most meaty foods, preferably live crabs. They will eventually whittle down a clean-up crew. Stable parameters and good water quality will keep them alive for many years.

Consider adding some Live Sand for your mantis. It is a course mixture of sand, shell fragments, broken shells, and coral skeletons. Our sand creates a visually pleasing and authentic ocean bottom.

Consider adding some Nano Base Live Rock or Rubble rock for your mantis to build with. Our rock is full of microorganisms beneficial to your tank and extremely attractive too!
