Hi Reefers,

I already given up on removing it.

Anyway, I read in RC that most Mantis that hitch hike on LRs are usually smashers and they usually will remain quite small to pose any threat to the fishes.Besides they prefer crustaceans as compared to fishes.

For me, the smallest fish I have is a Neon Goby (1.5cm), but its still surviving, I also have the arrows shrimps that are about 1.8cm.

But I must say that I have lots of hitch hikers crab shells at the bottom of my tank to which I credit the Mantis!
