If it is a pistol get a whatchman gobie it is realy cool to see them togeather BUT If it is a Mantis you want it out if you can catch it I tryed every thing traps of all shapes and sizes pulling out single rocks when ever I spoted it I ended up pulling out every rock and doing a fresh water dip and low and behild he was in the last rock. Now as for the problems with a mantis you will find that you go through alot of cleaner crew as it will feed on what it can get also they are very fast the spearing type can nail you in 1/100 of a second and the clubing type is almost as fast a large clubing mantis has the impact of a 22 cal. bullit it can brake your tank or your finger so use caution (dont stick your finger in the hole to try and trap him) Fisher men know them as thumb spliters scuba divers know them as toe spliters

good luck
