From what I have read, both Pistol and Mantis click, but that is all I know I am sure some folks who know a lot more than me will now pipe up.

yeah seriously, they can be a bitch to get out of your system. i belive an effective way to get him out if you know what rock he is in is to fresh water dip the rock and he should pop out.

There are always people who want to keep a Mantis in a dedicated tank. Maybe you could locate one of those, and have him help you catch it.
