clint, you wanting crabs as food for the mantis? or you starting a crab only tank?
if crab only, let me know, my lfs here has some red hairy crabs, that have anemones on thier shell. it's not aptaisa though. but it's a small anemone that has a symbiotic relationship with the crab. i think they were like 7 bucks. i could pick one up and ship to ya if you like.
here's a pic of what mine looked like, before i returned him.
he also regularly carries anemone (porcelain) crabs as well.

My mantis will eat ANYTHING!! Prime reef, formula one, hermit crabs, tridacnas, you name it, he (she?) will kill and eat it. Hardiest little beast I've ever met.

I don't have any crabs, but it might be fun to put this guy in with him and see who wins.
