aren't these mantis shrimp upwards of 200 dollars to purchase?
pretty unlikely both of you found it in some live rock.

Actually a mantis shrimp is considered a pest it wasn't until more recently that people started keeping them in species only tanks. Almost any actual live rock(pulled directly from the ocean and transported) can have hitchhikers in it which can include mantis shrimp, aiptasia, different types of worms and other things. Some of the more exotic looking ones can be upwards of $100+

Are 2 sites you can look at different types of marine fish. If Liveaquaria has any in stock normally they are in the Divers Den.
