Those 2 species you keep mainly in a tank by themselves and they are very smart preadators. However, most reef hobbtists woun't invest in one unless they are well advanced in the hobby. The risk of loosing one is way to much. A much easier one to keep in a species tank is the Peacock Mantis Shrimp, is thought to be THE most intellegent of the inverts has the best vision and actually make for awesome pets. HOWEVER, one species is nicknamed "thumb-splitters" as the kill their prey by flicking their front legs at the fish or crab with the force of a .22 caliber round. SO, you need a tank made of Acrylic of a min of 1"...glass may get cracked.
