ok i hate the be the boy that cried wolf twice... but Mantis Shrimp?

ok so i found a LFS about 30 min away from me that was REAL nice... i bought some LR from them today (beautiful rock!!!) and i get home and take the rock out of the box they sent me home with... and i have this little bugger in the bottom of the box with some of the water...
i'm pretty sure this time its a Mantis Shrimp... so what do i do with it? on the plus side i think i found a good LFS and i got some killer rock and there were some decorator crabs in there too!!!

You could make a SW tank for just it,See if the LFS would take it, or kill it.

Just put some tank water in a baggy and get the shrimp in it and then the bag goes to the freezer.

I would love to have a tank with just that kind of shrimp in it. They are very cool. They hit there pry a 45 MPH and over 250 PSI of force!

yep..they're pretty much a killing machine. If you search on youtube, there a few videos of them. One where it took out an emerald crab.
