I'd love one! Haven't seen one in a store here for 2yrs.

 

Not many tank mates can be kept with them, they are predators. 

 

 

Damsels are quick enough to be kept with one, provided the shrimp isn't too big and the tank isn't too small. I had an azure damselfish with my purple spot mantis for over a year, and a Clarkii clownfish with my platysoma mantis for almost  a year before he passed away.
