Sorry I didn't have my camera with me but as of Saturday 1/31/04, Tropical Paradise had 4 stomatopods available (tpaquarium.com).
All four were dark olive/green smashers with all white meral spots with a small black dot at the forward edge of the spot. Eyes, antennal scales and the sides of the telson were a faint orange, and the telson had 4 teeth with the center two longer than the outer two. I'd estimate that the smallest was 6cm and the three larger were approximately 9cm. They were all fairly aggressive, 3 of 4 displaying a threat posture while looking at them.
I know shape isn't a good indicator but I was going to guess G. Smithi from the skinny appearance and eyes.
Thanks for any info!
