Mantis Id

I picked up my mantis from the LFS here in my town. He said that the mantis hitchiked on some LR. He/she is doing very well now and eats primarily small fiddler crabs, astrea snails, and frozen shrimp. I put a blue damsel in the tank with the mantis about three months ago and they live happily together. Sometimes the mantis and the damsel are even in the same cave together. Also, my mantis does not seem to care at all about the hermit crabs that I put in there. I found one dead hermit, and it wasn't eaten, just pulled out of his shell and killed. Anyway, I was sondering if anyone can help me out with an ID. It is almost three inches long, maroon/brownish color, orange meral spot, green legs. If anyone could help me out that would be great! I have scoured the web but I haven't seen a pic on one that looks like mine.
Thanks,
Jon
