i have 2 mantises and they are a complete clean up crew in themselves! They would rather pick up a scrap then hunt a crab. They can cause a bit of an algea problem due to the fact that they burrow alot and kill most hermit crabs and snails. Both of mine are housed with a variety of fish and other inverts you just have to take the time and see what kind of a personality yours has. And always remember a fed mantis is a happy mantis.
