Anyone have interest in taking a 1.5" mantis shrimp off my hands?

Assuming I can catch the little bugger, does anyone want a ~1.5" purple crushing mantis shrimp? I've got two in my tank and just do not want to deal with the risks associated with them any longer. I have a small fish trap I'm going to try and use to get one out.

Free if you schedule to come and take it.

Got a number of inquiries for the mantis! I'll attempt to catch it today/tomorrow and reply to the messages once done. Will be a first come first serve basis.

I'm out in Corona. And I did not anticipate how long this would take. Still not able to catch the little dude. Got a fish trap, with bait. Will continue attempts and trying various strategies.

Taking suggestions!

Got it! Had to rip the rock out and hold it over a bucket for 10 minutes, poking him a bit. He's angry but alive and well it seems. First come first serve, I'm out in Corona!
