Ok I dont have pic's up yet but I'll say the things I know.

He is a smasher about --- to ---- long.
white is color with a slight brown tint.
and a long brown line down the back probably internals though.

Will post pics as soon as I get them thanks
 
The only stomatopod with a true stripe down the back that I know about is Pseudosquilla ciliata. However, this is a spearer. There are a couple of small Haptosquilla that have sort of line down the back, but they are usually green. Look at the eyes. Do they have sort of a checker-board appearence?

No they are not. and I know for a fact he is a smasher. I'm trying my best to get a pic, but theyall come up blurry, and when i thought I had him I couldn't find him in the pic haha!! Might take a while;)
 
I just about had it with the mantis not showing his face :P. So I did a freshwater dip. Low and behold 2 came out. One about 2-3 times his size. He is greenish color with soe spots and i have a great pic of the 2 of them next to eachother and will have the pics up later today sometime.
