Most definitely, there are a wide variety of Mantis shrimps, from the giants that can potentially break glass, to tiny ones that would thrive even in a Pico.

Here's an extensive list of different mantis species and their basic needs.

Can personally recommend gonodactylids for a tank of that size.

Alexraptor beat me to it.

Depending on the species of mantis shrimp, yes. Roy's List give minimum tank sizes for mantis shrimp and some specific info (both generic and care-related) on each species:
