Mantis in Aggressive Tank?

Does anyone here have a mantis shrimp in their aggressive tank? I've got mine in a species only 6 gallon, but it would be much better if I could put him in my 90. He is about 5 inches. Would he be able to break the glass on a 90? Would he get along with my tankmates listed below? Thanks.

You could do it, but there would definitely be a fight. I'm not sure who would win, but the mantis would surely attack everything in there.
I remember reading a post about a guy who put 5 clown triggers in a tank with a mantis and when the lights came on then next morning, all the clowns were dead.

I just ordered my mantis after much research, everything I have read said that they should be in their own tank, unless you are trying to get rid of whatever you put in with them. Basically, nothing is safe with a mantis of that size.
