I got this Mantis for $10 at my LFS. It came in on some liverock they purchased. I believe it was Jakarata Rock or something like that. They couldnt tell me what kind it was besides that it was a Smasher.

When i first got it. It was a dark orange color. Then after a few weeks it molted. Now its Orange with bright green stripes. It still isnt coming out into the open, so i cant take a picture of it.

Does anyone know what kind of Mantis comes on the Jakarata rock?
 
I would need to see a photo to try for an ID. There are about 30 species of gonodactyloid that could be found in LR from Indonesia. From the color information, I suspect a species in the genus Gonodactylaceus, perhaps G. glabrous.
