New Tank idea??

Well i have been keeping "peace reefs" for quite sometime and i have been feeling the need for a little desktop killing machine! I have been eyeing this peacock mantis at my LFS that is just awesome. I have a 20 gallon acrylic tank that i am thinking about setting up for this guy. Im just wondering how often it will need to be fed? I assume it would be everyday but i have been reading some places say 3 times a week. The other thing i am wondering is which foods are best for it? I can breed platties for it but i know people feed them crabs and other live inverts. I wanna make sure i will be providing it with the proper diet so any info here from people that are having success with these creatures would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance,
Craig
