I have tried isolating the LR into a bucket and followed this link:

I tried the squirt method, the water in the container was prepped water. I tried shaking it violently in SW, then I squirted the holes with carbonated water. I was able to force out some amphipods (lots) but no mantis :(
My little brother ended up taking the LR and smashing it into 4 pieces, and there was no sign of him. Right before I picked up the LR.. we fed the tank and we saw the little bugger stick his head out. Not even 10 secs later, I lifted the LR out with a net under it, in case he tried to run.
After farting around with the rock for a good 30 minutes, I placed the 4 pieces of LR back into the tank, and I placed a bottle trap under the LR (nothing in the bottle this AM)
Im waiting till tonight to see if he sticks his head out during feeding.
