I got a mantis off of a concerned reefer and promptly took it home and set up an aquapod for it..
I put in 3 small yellow tail damsels and a couple rock crabs and they are all still alive after a couple of weeks and the mantis eats mysis and whatever food gets near his hole but no animosity in him at all so far.

The mantis is super cool, although secretive, I would bever even notice him in my large display as he does the rock door trick too.

I'm going to add a couple shrimps and see if that doesn't entice some hunter behavior.
I honestly have my doubts.

I also understand there are numerous sub species of mantis and all are different in the habitat they have adapted to live in so everyones experience may vary.
