Help unwanted mantis in tank

[zorden]

i just placed the Liferocks into my tank.

i observe that there are alot of Crabs, worms and also MANTIS SHRIMP inside the tank.


The LR delivery man threw a 2 inch mantis shrimp into my tank right before me and even tell me this is something like a "lobster"

thanks to him....i think i have to try to destroy those crabs and mantis shrimp before they can get my fish....


what is the best way to kill them..
using the mineral water, chicken essence method..

btw..my tank is 3 ft in height.

any good way to kill them other them removing the rocks

Don't kill him unless you have to!!! Put him in a small tank and someone from here will buy him from you. Where are you located at? You can do a fresh water dip in a bucket and he should come out. If that does not work try and lure him ouit with some krill or squid.
