Oh yeah i have been feeding him frozen silversides soaked in vitamins. Added carbon and a skimmer to the tank to keep the water quality up.
This is only the second crab i fed to him intentionaly. Any other live food was meant as some sort of clean up crew until he decided he wanted a snack
I have been over on the mantis forum and spoke with billy from stomatopod.com over the phone as well as been in contact with his partner via email. So i have done my research and am taking precautions to avoid any health issues but, I just cant help to enjoy watching the mantis destroy things. Its my little desktop death tank. LOL!
