A 14 gallon biocube is way too small for your Scyllarus. I don't know who told you that a 14 gallon bio-cube is acceptable for a Peacock Mantis, but they need to be in at least a 30 gallon. 40 gallon breeder is good. A 120 and he/she will go exploring their mansion. LInk http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/crustacea/malacostraca/eumalacostraca/royslist/species.php?name=o_scyllarus

The information you stated and your link you provided contradict each other. In the link (if you read it..) it states 100l which is NOT 100 gallons. It is liters and that would make their recomendation a 26 gallon aquarium. The OP's mantis is only 5", so that tank is fine.
