What did you do with your Mantis when you finally caught it?

Just curious...... and thought this might humor some people in the process. Whats the worst thing you have done to a trapped mantis shrimp? I have only had to deal with one thus far, and after many unsuccessful attempts, once I finally caught it, I boiled it in a pot of salt water till it stopped popping. I hope no one will get upset at this, and I'm also hoping I'm not the only one to torture a marine pest. I would feel much better about myself if tomorrow I read everyone's "torture stories".

I have to admit I fed a CBS that took out my favorite fish and injured another to a black durgeon trigerfish, It was great at the time, but I regret it now, it was only doing what it would have in the wild and I took it upon myself to torture him for it. But then again the trigger may have done the same thing in the wild Seriously you should set up a tank for it, they are really cool creatures and really fun to watch, especially at feeding time. HTH
