Hi, I just spotted a mantis shrimp hitchhiker (slightly longer than 1 inch) in my tank, what sort of potential damage can they do and is it absolutely important to catch it out? One of my hermit crabs and a pistol shrimp has gone missing, but not sure if it has to do with the mantis shrimp... Am planing to set a trap soon. Any good bait or trap design that you recommend?
