ok, I bought a rock with like 10 mushrooms on it for 40 bucks, and I noticed that there was a mantis shrimp swimming around in the bag and he would go in and out of the rock. so I got home, and I put the water and the rock into a bucket and let it sit hoping the shrimp would come out.........so I waited........and waited........and waited.........and 3 hours from then (right now), he still hasnt come out of the rock. I really want to get the rock into my tank but im NOT putting that shrimp in there with it. Any removal suggestions?

Re: mantis removal help!
I'd like to see a pic to make sure its a mantis and not (most likely) some other critter...
Give the rock a quick squirt of fresh water especially where you think the mantis is.... He should come etting out.
Mine absolutely hates fresh water...... when I do top offs on the tank he runs for the other side.
