Mantis shrimp odds?

[rusty hannon]

I asked about mantis n reefs the other day n you all really helped me out. I now have another q concerning this guy. I pulled out the rock, which was 3 times bigger than I thought , and at that moment when the rock came up so did 4 of the biggest bristle worms I've ever seen. 1 inch across back from bristle to bristle. As wife n grandson fled throwing hemos at me I steadied myself n pulled them out. I think the mantis got free n the commotion as one is running around,still or again? Being such a predictor what r the odds of having 2 , and remember they appear to me to b babies . 1 in. long. Or how bad am I in it. Getting a trap today! Thank you guys n advance

I pulled some live rock out of the ocean when I lived in the keys many many years ago, and it ended up having a mantis shrimp in it which later ended having babies. Needless to say I had to empty out the whole tank as it was loaded with baby mantis shrimp.
