I can confirm that shaking a mantis out of his rock can be extremly hard, you need some luck.

I have a mantis in my tank and i put each rock one by one on a Powerplate (these things you have in the gym). I left each rock shaking for about 2 minutes and it was litteraly shaking everything out of it, but no mantis. There is no way you can shake this hard and intense with your bare hands, so if this doesn't work... i think you must be very Lucky to get it out by shaking.

I did get one mantis out by dipping the rock in RO, but it did also kill the mantis...
