Mantis color?

What color is your Mantis?

I've been thinking about this for several months, and am finally getting around to posting.

My Mantis that came in on the Tampa Bay Saltwater LR is a fluorescent green color. Pretty cool looking, I suppose. (My other tanks do not have Mantis.)

What is the "standard" Mantis color? What is yours?

this probably isn't going to be answered for one simple reason:
they change colors!!!

my George came to me green/blue... just awsome colors, and I was in Seventh Heaven
but, since I don't have blue/green colors in my tank, guess what color he changed to?
rust brown (wish it was the red color on my LR, but hopefully he'll go back to green, since his home rock is turning green/blue with funky coraline)

if the shrimp was caught in depths, it'll be green/blue.. some stay that way, some change with the new lighting that they now have...

so this is impossible to answer.
