Mantis traps

[Creetin]

Anybody ever heard of one? And whats a good way to trap one i can't find. I head a thumping from time to time, And all my peppermint shrimp are missing. I removed all my rocks and visually inspected them, But no avail.
Thanks much for any help.

Sure thing hes yours when i catch him. I know there is one because clowns dont eat shrimp either does snails I noticed in my sump a bunch of small shrimp looking things. Not much smaller than a cursor arrow. Could those be babies? I got my liverock from brazil any idea what kind of mantis? A spearer or a thumper? Thanks for the link

I'm still learning about them myself, I have a 12g tank on the way and I want to set it up for a mantis.

Not sure what kind of mantis would be found in Brazilian water but I'm sure some of the experts here will chime in soon.

Keep me in mind.
