Default Anyone want a yellow/green mantis-looking shrimp?

Hi all,

I picked up a few pounds of LR at the LFS yesterday in Edmonton, and mistakenly brought home a yellowish-greenish shrimp. He looks like the google pictures of a "mantis shrimp", but I am far and away no expert.

I was able to catch him, but now I'm not sure what to do. The LFS is a 40 min drive, and I'm not sure they'd want him back anyway. If anyone collects this type of stuff, let me know quick.

Now...if I found one, what are the chances there are unborn/young'ens in there I'll need to worry about in the future?

OK...the mantis shrimp is now back home at the LFS. I'm sure he'll have a long and happy life there; much better than the thought of him eating everything in my little tank!
