Idk, I think maybe graphurus or caldwelli but definitely from Australia

Ok, big update. After getting home from my 18 day marine biology camp, both of my lps corals are dead. After seeing that and thinking about where I wanted this tank to go, I am making a smaller aio for the current mantis and making this tank into a Caribbean biotope. The mantis will probably be N. oerstedii and I might get a foureye or long nose butterfly fish for my second and final fish. The current mantis and fish are doing great as are my softies. I have the nitrates under control (40 ppm nitrates when I got home) and the tank is doing well right now

The G. viridis just died. I woke up and he was normal, he ate last night. When I got home 15 minutes ago he was dead.

I thought I would give you guys a final update on this thread before I let it die, I have decided to change where I am going with this tank. Friday I will be getting a lionfish and hope to end up with three. The corals are all doing well and I may eventually get another mantis but I don't have time for two tanks as well as marching band(no free time). Thanks for giving me great advice guys.
