Thanks to all who responded to my distress signal over
my mantis woes... (ie. Jon, Anthony, Dave, Spass, et. al).

Believe it or not the mantis turned out to be a pistol
shrimp.  Apparently these are harmless.  It sounded like a 
mantis and I spent a lot of time trying to see him with no luck. 

Also, I asked for advice from a different store and I am
now convinced that the small crustaceans I noticed are
not baby mantis shrimps (or pistol shrimps for that matter).

I've decided not to purchase anything such as a Mandarin
Goby to munch on these small guys.  I get the impression
that they are good for the tank. 

With all of the crustacean talk, however, I did end up
buying a coral banded shrimp.  

Thanks again for all the advice.

Next time I'll know what a pistol shrimp looks like.

Brian
