I am currently running a 29g biocube. Water levels perfect. Got a small peacock mantis last week, he had been at a local shop for about 4 weeks and was always active when I saw him up there. Picked him up, acclimated him to the tank and added some reef crabs to help feed and entertain him.
Dug himself a little cave under a rock and within about 2 hours he had taken out 5 of the crabs and seemed to be doing great. The next morning I noticed my heater wasn't set properly and the tank got down to 74 degrees and we couldn't find him. After moving a couple rocks, found him curled up underneath and wasnt moving. When I tried to move the rock off of him he sprang up and swan around for about 2 minutes and then rested behind a rock. Later that evening he was back underneath the rock I noticed him not moving under. The tanks temp is good now and has been for 2 days but he hasn't come out. I want to leave him alone if he's alive, but pull him if he's not. I just am not sure what's going on.
