Tag-Along!!!!!???

I bought this peice of rock with some zoo and a few buttons on it.
Theres a hole in the rock, and i just saw something with small but long tentacle eyes and little skinny blue arms, it comes 20-30% out of the hole,
any idea what it is? anyway to get it out? so see what it is? could it be a manit?!?!

help me out here, i dont want this thing taking over. it seems pretty attached to this large hole in this rock. So i know where it is.
Wodering if the zoos and buttons would live thru a freshwater dip. I know that sucker would come right out!....well, i think.

Try and lure it out with some food so you can give a better description.

Yup its a mantis. Very small, length of average paper clip. Its mainly green. Put it in a small tupperware, and put some small holes in it, floating around in the tank. What should i do with it?
What do i need to start up a little mantis tank.
The bugger scares the crap out of me though, just weird looking, and with the added hype and stories of what it does, how fast it is and how triggers are scared of it... so am i but i guess it cant do any harm in a small tank by it self.

Congrats! Having a mantis tag-along can be a bane or a blessing. I wish I had a green peacock mantis, they are sure interesting critters. If you don't want him, I'm sure a lot of people on this board would take him. Otherwise, you can start a mini-mantis tank. Watch the video of the mantis on this board, it could influence your decision

id take him if you dont want him, where do you live?
