Now, now....before we get everyone too panicked about the mantis....The mantis we get are generally very small and aren't going to go blowing out tanks or splitting people's fingers in the immediate future.
Besides, you're not even sure yet that you HAVE a mantis. You could have a pistol. There's completely nothing to worry about if you only have a pistol shrimp.
Stay up after dark...try to see the critter and figure out what you're dealing with. It may be nothing. If it is a mantis, you'll get him out eventually at which point tell us because there are a number of people who would love to have him.
