Mantis killers?
Just saw what looks to be a good deal on a cleanup crew for my cycling mantis tank
The mantis I will be getting would be <2" and introduced afterwards, would any of those crabs attack the mantis? Ebay link 10 Nassarius Snails (detritus, sand sifters) 10 Juvenile Nerite Snails (film algae, diatoms) 5 Juvenile Stocky Cerith Snails (hair/film algae, diatoms) 5 Dwarf Blue Leg Hermits (algae, detritus) 5 Dwarf White Leg Hermits (hair algae, detritus) 1 Juvenile Porcelain Crab (filter feeders) 1 Juvenile Green Emerald Crab (hair/bubble algae) 1 Juvenile Pencil Urchin (algae, detritus) 1 Juvenile Lettuce Nudibranch (film/hair algae) I know eventually most of these will disappear, just want to make sure the Mantis wont. p.s. Anyone know of any other cheap packages for some cleaners for a 12g Aquapod? |

I doubt it. While it would be possible for the emerald crab to do it, it would most likely be the first dead. The porcelain crab couldn't do diddly (those claws are for show). The only thing in there that oises a real risk is that nudibranch. Toxic when they die.

The lettuce nudibranch is generally non toxic, in the fact that it will not nuke your tank when it dies.

Still toxic when they die, even if not "nuke tank" toxic. If a lettuce nudibranch died when the mantis was molting......
