I stock my mantis tanks up with live food, usually just blue legged hermits and astrea snails. I let the mantis shrimp hunt on their own when they are hungry. Seems to work out well.  
 
Everyone at the LFS I worked at now knows that when I come in and look at crabs they are almost always for food.
