Yep, i was in Dr. Roy's seminar this semester, we only got one class on mantis shrimp, but we did get to see a lot of mantis shrimp in his lab. If you're going to put a mantis shrimp in your dorm room, make sure to put it somewhere dark. If it gets light in the morning around 6 your mantis is going to start digging around and punching rocks and thats not good for your sleep(first hand experience). Mine gets active around 5 am if i dont cover up his aquarium.
 
Good call...I'll make sure to hide it from the light...otherwise my roomie will be fine (loves early mornings) but I'll be a little miffed at my pet! :)
