I saw the thread, but thought " what the heck are mantids shrimp? " sounds like the mantis that come right out of the oothecae, y'know, the wiggly ones...newly hatched...not even sure if I'm making sense here...probably not...

This definitely needs to be on Animal Planet

Mantis shrimps are not very hard to keep. They're relatively hardy compared to other ornamental crustaceans.

It's the fact that you need to set up a reef-quality marine aquarium with a good amount of live-rock that makes it a bit difficult for someone who doesn't already keep marine tanks. Big learning curve involved(and usually a big cost as well).

If you want one I suggest you go to a reef aquarium site and read up. They're worth it.
