There are always some for sale online, liveaquaria.com, maknwaves.com ( had 10 of them at one time!!) and sharkeysreef.com ( i think ) also last but not least check with your LFS

I sat down one afternoon and called EVERY fish store in town...the one on my list (also the farthest) happened to have one in stock! You might just try making a whole bunch of phone calls. A few of the stores got a little upset when I asked...they sprung into the lecture about "if we had a mantis shrimp in stock we would kill it"...idiots. Anyways, just start asking around. A few local stores also offered to order one for me as long as I paid for it up front. I ended up getting my Peacock for $30 because they had it in stock for almost 2 months with zero interest. Good luck! You will love it when you get one!!!!
