    Caught! Mantis shrimp (1 of 3 or maybe 4) What now?

    Anyone want him? If so, how do I ship him? If no one wants him, what do I do with him? Do LFS take them? I didnt want to kill him (the scissor trick) but if I have to flush him then so be it. I got 2 or maybe 3 more to still find and trap.
