How do you catch a mantis shrimp in your aquarium?
Does anyone know a proper way to catch a mantis shrimp, or how fast they can be? I think I have this pest in my saltwater tank, eating my crabs and snails at night.
Very carefully.
Peetee has the best idea of using a trap, but you can make one yourself with things you probably have on hand.
Here is an idea of how to make one yourself:

You can also just use a jar, bottle, kritter keeper, or anything you have on hand laid on its side with bait in it and a string that allows you to pull it upright and out of the water (you don't want to put your hands in a tank with an upset mantis!). You should remember that these have the ability to break glass, so use something made of plastic.
