Linda, I have the JBJ picotope (it's my sons). I've since added two micro-powerheads and a 36w coralife fixture. It's enough light to keep softies and currently houses my 'rare/LE' zoas and palys.
I need to take some pictures...I really like that tank.

Megan has the mantis in a 2-1/2 g mini bow now and it would be fine in that by itself. But she wants something that would support a few soft (beginning) corals and this has insufficient lighting.
Charlie, do mantis shrimp need a secure top? I don't know much about them. this one is small -- about the size of a cockroach... ugh.
I was thinking about http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3730+15494&pcatid=15494">this little system</a>. Debra has one on the counter at CapBay with some pistol shrimp and corals and it looks pretty cool:

I think Sam said he could order them at Aquabuys when I was looking.

I have an eclipse system 3 tank. (6 gallon) -- I wouldn't recommend it because I think it comes with an 18 watt PC light that you can't grow a thing with. It's also got a weak circulation / filtration system that has a long tube that things can get stuck in and clog up slowly over time, and decay to annoy your corals. If you take off the top to allow for better lighting, then you have to start dealing with evaporation issues because it's no longer a covered system.
I had to get extra lighting just to have Xenia in the tank. Frogspawn, Candy Cane, and mushrooms were just fine, though.
I like my 10gallon quarantine tank with coralife 24" light and and the Aquaclear hang on filter much better.

I have a pico and it's a pain if it's small, I would suggest getting a 6 gallon nanocube, much easier to work with and by the time you get all the parts together, you will be spending about the same.

I think we are talking about different things....
:lol2:
Try to get a pic from the front if at all possible usually one of the distinct features is something called a Meral spot, which is located on the inside of there front apendages, Do you know where he came from? Fla, Hawaii, indonesia? That would help as well usually hitchikers from flaliverock are typically Neogonodactylus oerstedii and usually have a purple meral spot.
