Hey all! I finally got my first mantis shrimp! Wanted one for years. I have him in my 55g reef tank along with 2 clowns, 2 pajamas, and a purple dottyback. He doesn't mind the other fish whatsoever, and even leaves my giant emerald crab alone after a couple wacks lol He's only about 3 inches right now. Problem is I wanted a peacock but he doesn't look like a peacock to me. Maybe because it's just a juvenile? Figured I'd ask for help. He's got a couple spots close to his smashers.

Thank you!
 
Sorry for the double post. I can't figure out how to edit my post. Here's a picture of the spots. I suppose seeing these spots more clearly it does seem like a peacock to me. I've just never seen one lacking color and mostly just orange. Originally, going off Roy's list I thought it was a G. graphurus.
