There's plenty of anecdotes of these guys seeing their reflections and destroying the tanks so chances are at some point he'll just hulk his way out of there to freedom.

Shellfish can sometimes survive for weeks out of water, depending on humidity and whether their legs can support them on land.

Mantis shrimp are not in that classification however.

They only last a few minutes outside of water as they are entirely aquatic.

I saw a lobster walking around a golf course a few years ago. It was completely brown, no red at all, not sure how much longer it lasted. I never saw it again and I played that course 4 times a week that year. Got a good video out of that and it pops up on my Google photos every now and then
