Mantis Shrimp are really aggressive. They pretty much dominate a tank if you get one. They will go after crabs, snails, fish anything it can get. Im not 100% on size, but I know some kinds can get up to 8 inches.

The mantis shrimp with spearing type claws do attack fish and I have never seen one. The mantis shrimp with smashing type claws will eat snails, shrimp, and crabs.
