Kreikey!
I wrestled the mighty mantis out of my display tank. Well I took the rock he was living in and hung it over a bucket of water, When I returned about 15 min later he was in my bucket waiting for me. I was dreading dealing with this but it worked out just fine.
Now I need to figure out what to do with him....

I thought about putting it in my Hanh on fuge but I'm not sure if that is a good idea... ANy thoughts?
 
I wouldn't put it in a hang on. There is not alot of room in there. If you want to keep him you can always set up a 10 gallon for him. That how I started with mine. Now he is in a 30 and it is going to be my new mini reef tank, with an aggresive twist :D. I personally find them very interesting and unique animal, but alot of people have lost fish to them so that makes them a pest.
I guess you really can't tell by the rock where he is from. Alot of places mix rock so it could be from anywhere. If he is a peacock they are sweet !! One of the prettiest.
If you decided not to keep it, I am sure you wll have to beat people back with a stick for all that would like to have it ;)
Here is mine, look at the pens next to him, he is a little guy :)

Here is him peeking out, probably looking for food :p
