Can i keep a Mantis shrimp with my corals?? I know they eat snails, crabs, fish, etc.... I just wanna make sure they are safe with corals thanks

I'm not sure if I would house a mantis with Corals. I may be wrong but I don't think they are reef safe.

there is a guy here that keeps one johnnybob or something like that

jonboyb. As far as I know he keeps one, but I think he keeps it in a tank alone.

His is alone. Very mean lil ****** too lol

You probably wont be able to keep a clean up crew, but they wont bother corals. Once they get a burrow, you'll be fine. Just no snails, crabs, or shrimps, likely.

No doubt :yes:

They won't eat the corals, but they may bury them. I would also add, no fish to the list of can't haves.
