this may work, depending on how large your mantis is.

Thanks. Figures the week that I say that getting live rock from other people isn't a problem... I realized I forgot to freshwater dip 2 pieces and that must be how I got one..

Yep, just kinda like dipping a fish in freshwater. No enough to kill it off as long as it is not in there too long.
I actually have in the same tank some rock that was in freshwater for about 6 hours because I knew the rock was majorly infested with bristle worms. After that time soaking, I put the rock into the tank and it had open feather dusters growing on it in 2 weeks, so some of them lived.
I've heard mantis are extremely fast and smart. Good vision too. Too much work to get that piece of rock he is in and dip it?
I'm not sure if this could work... I've got zero experience with salt water aquariums.
1. Find a empty 2 liter soda bottle and clean it throughly
2. Cut around the upper part of the bottle where it begins to start forming the bottle neck. The top part will be call part 2 and the bottom part will be called part 1
3. Place bait into part 1.
4. Flip part 2 around and fit it tightly into part 1. The bottle top will be pointing inwards on the bottle.
5. Allow the trap to slowly fill with water as you put it in and set the opening towards the intended target.
6. If successful remove trap from water with the opening pointing upwards.
This is a trap that I've used to catch stuff before, not mantis shrimp but fish and crayfish. Idk if it would be big enough or not but it was an idea.
