So its confirmed, I saw a small brown mantis shrimp today when I was feeding the fish. Im hoping he will stay in the rock he is in, and I will try using high salinity dip to force him out. Still debating if I should put it down.. or maybe someone here wants him?

Sure.. Im going camping this weekend, but I will try the salinity dip next week. He looks really cool, I was really hoping for my porcupine to hunt it down for me.

So I attempted to extract the mantis using the methods listed in this link
http://www.mantisshrimps.co.uk/articles/removal.php I didnt try the freshwater dip, however I tried the "shake violently" method. This guy will not come out! I also tried the carbonated water method since I have a sodastream unit at my house. I was able to force out alot of amphipods but NO mantis  Oh, and my little brother ended up smashing the LR into 4 pieces, and NOTHING! I just fed the tank, and saw the little mantis peek his head out, so I snagged that LR out of the tank. I set another bottle trap over night (nothing this AM) Guess I have to wait it out and see if I hear anymore clicking

No, he loves the rock hes in. I am just leaving the bottle trap. There is a forum member that is offering to lend me his shrimp trap. Just need to find time to meet him.
When I get home tonight, I will have to chill in the office and see if there is any clicking. Did you speak to tinman? he has a lime green mantis in his sump that hes giving away

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I know.. tell me about it
 I will have to slowly take the rocks out, and catch as many as I can. Hopefully, I can catch these SOB's when I move everything to the 200g in a couple months
