I found this guy while working on a display tank today, any ID and advice on him would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

ill try and get a better picture later, its got a light grayish body with a purple tink around the edges, thanks!

There really isn't enough to go on to ID this animal. Try to photograph it from the rear. The telson will be key to identifying it.

It looks like a O. japocornus to me, but I'm new to mantis's

Japonicus as a hitchhiker? I doubt it. Some kind of Neogonodactylid?

anyone else? thanks!

Live rock can be passed aout a bit, it may have come to his LFS as a hitcher on a coral and then gotten into some live rock. No clue about the species however, sorry.

nothin like an O. Japonicus, im going to say that by looking at the telsion and what looks like two dark spots on it that it is an G. Falcatus
