You would need to block off the passage between the two tanks or you would get the mantis wandering. Very inquisitive little things.

I did the same thing for a year, easy to block them off.

Find the rock he hides in and then flush him out using carbonated water. Should work. Unless you can't get the rock out without tearing down your system.

Good luck.

That must be one evil mantis to make you go after it with a screw driver! .

Default Trap
Your local fish store should have a mantis shrimp trap for sale. Traps even come with bait for the buggers.
