I spent the better part of 2 months trying to trap that mantis without any success. At one point, I actually saw him in a rock and managed to get it out. I proded that rock to no end trying to humanely get him out, when that failed, I eventually ended up running hot water through all the holes in the rock. Something flushed out of the rock in this process but went down the drain of my sink before I could confirm the ID. I then put the rock into my sump and left it there for 3 weeks, having heard no clicking from the tank or sump for all those weeks, I moved the rock back to the display (as it was the centerpiece of an arch). Two weeks after that, the clicking started again... Since then I've learned to live with the little guy. He's just a little guy, and I haven't noticed to much death and destruction. The hermit snail's shells are pretty beaten up, but not broken. I do notice hitchiker crab claws on the sand once in awhile though.
