Mantis Found in Philly!!

[BRISK495]

Hello- I have a mantis in my nano reef tank. I have a small JBJ Nano....It looks as though is extremely fast, about 1 1/2 - 2 ". What is the major issue with leaving him in there?? I'd gladly give him to someone if they'd want him. The tank is about a year old so he must have been doing great for the past year...and hitchhiked on the live rock......ANy help please!!!!

I would also be interested in the shrimp if you are willing to ship

are these guys bad for the tank? I wouldn't mind catching him and trading him to someone for a frag. I can take pics of him (if and when) i catch him....

I've got zooanthid frags and a few small sps frags if you get him out, I could meet up w/ you too, let me know - of course, in my place in line

Ok, the trap is set!!! MadTown Max- You get first dibs and sounds like your pretty close to me. Tonite I have the trap set....hopefully he s starving (I just put flake food in, so hopefully he ll go for that....if not i ll try raw shrimp tommorow...). I have a digital camera but the bateries are out!! I will definitely post a pic though if I catch him....

Thanks Brisk - just wondering, why are you getting rid of it? If it's a smasher there's no risk to your fish or corals -
