Looking for a mantis shrimp

Hey all,
just wondering if anyone had a smasher for sale. Ive been looknig out for a mantis shrimp since december and haven't found one. I saw them online, but was told that a peacock wasn't worth the $35 plus $35 shipping from liveaquaria.com. So I went searching around to local saltwater shops and was told "yeah they're easy to get, I can get you one in a week." A week comes around and everyone seems to say "didn't see any this week... wrong season, blah blah blah." Kindof disappointing as they claim they could get it anytime and i gave them over a month.
If anyone knows where I can get a good looking smasher (not a huge 6" one but something a tad smaller for a well established 20g with 5 lbs of live rock and LS, hang on skimmer, powerhead for moving water -- just had this tank for a mantis only!) pM me. I
saw earlier a couple were giving away pest -- mantis shrimps they found-- if so PM me !!
Thanks alot
Al

just buy some live rock. they usually stowaway in there. i have 2 in my tank which im trying to get rid of but its impossible. the owner of my lfs told me to find the rock hes living in and put it in the microwave. i laughed.
 
Reefermadness says they can get mantis shrimps though I'm not sure if they would just ship one out (they have a $100 minimum order because of the shipping), but if you have a reef tank you can get some cool corals along with the mantis!

Edit: also look at the TBS forum, people always getting mantis with their rock, so you might be able to find someone that has one to get rid of...
