Rough guess.

I know its not the best picture, It is a smasher I know this.
Anything close to what it could be will be good enough for me.

It came from Fiji most likely.
 
Well, there isn't much to go on except for color and general shape, but if I had to guess, I would say that it is not a smasher, but rather a Pseudosquilla ciliata. WIthout a better look at the telson, however, I really can't be sure. The best way to tell P. ciliata is a slight "checkerboard" effect on the eyes and two long teeth on the telson. each set with a movable spine.

Yes the pic stinks. I barrowed the pic because I got a piece of Yellow Zoanthid rock and found him in it, and another person from St. Louis got the exact same coral but from a different store and found the same mantis in thier rock too. I can get a better pic of mine because its in a small tank. Mine has red on its tail and randomly through out the body. Mine is DEFINATLY a smasher. I use a feeding prong to feed him, and he smacks the hell out of it.
