Hello,
I recently set up a second tank because I finally was able to get a Mantis Shrimp that's not a peacock. (which is hard here in europe apparently!)
He is around 8cm, maybe a tad smaller and is missing one of his dactyl. It's color is a cyan to cream and the meral spot is seemingly either cream or feintly yellow.
I suspect it's of the genus Gonodactylaceus, because its tail looks very much like a g. falcatus/glabrous/ternatensis.
The seller informed me that they initially thought that it was a O. Scylarrus but it totally changed color after a molt according to them.
As mentioned before, my bet is on a G. Falcatus, or G. Glabrous but the meral spot is really very very faintly yellow even if that. It seems more white/cream, which would contradict the orange spots of the aforementioned species.
Help would be much appreciated, I've attached several pictures!
