See if you can get a look at the meral spots (the colored spots on the striking appendages). That will help ID it better. Also if you know where it came from that would help also. Have you seen Roy's List?

Roy's List of Stomatopods for the Aquarium

Peacock is a generic term usually used to describe O. scyllarus and yours is definitely not that. Possibly G. chiragra.
