Not sure, I have never owned one. But, I think as adults they can be housed in a 20 gallon tank.
I think some of the bigger species have been known to break glass, and can split your finger open. Granted not all of them are powerful enought to. I think I read awhile back that some of them can strike as fast as a 22 cal. bullet.
check this write up out.

Thanks Burgh! That's link answered all my questions! I like that peacock. The colour on it is nice! Kinda scary to think you get one that hitchiked in live rock into your tank and ends up breaking your glass!

NP man! I guess they are a common (pest) found in LR, but depends on the person and what kind of tank they are setting up.
As for them breaking the glass, I think it depends on the tank. I think it would have to strike a weak spot of the glass more so.
There's video's on utube of people holding them and getting struck by them without getting cut. So it probably depends on how pissed off the Mantis is.
