Hello:

My LFS knows that I have a peacock mantis and has always been intrigued by me keeping one. On their latest LR shipment they got a small mantis shrimp and managed to save it and keep it alive, when I got there, they gave it to me as a gift :)

anyway, he is now in my NC 12 and he is doing very well, started making his home and I can hear the snapping all the time.

Can someone ID this little fellow for me?

Hard to tell from the photo, but my guess would be a male Neogonodactylus oerstedii. If so, it should have maroon or purplish meral spots.

Thats one looks just like mine, I always thought it was a G. Viridis. Their not very active, in fact I haven't seen mine in weeks.
