    I just recently caught the Mantis shrimp that was killing everything in my 125 Tang tank.I so wanted to kill him but couldn't after reading a post up here,so I put him in my new 75 setup in my bedroom and for the third day in a row I just found him in my CPR overflow which does have a screen please advise on how to stop this.

    He is probably climbing over the screen. In my mantis tank I have the screen going horizontal over the overflow. It is a pain because algae grows there but it keeps the mantis out of the overflow. He will go up there and walk across it and sit up there waiting to ambush something
