    Yeah, I have.

    I haven't found an exact match.

    The rings are purple and the inner circle is white. Almost opposite of the G Smithii.

    Mantis are so cool. By far one of my favorite things to watch, and if i had heard of them sooner, i would have gotten one for my pico. Good luck with him! Just a quick Q though, are Zebra, and Peacock Mantis "Shrimp" the only kinds of stomatopods?

    Videos are being uploaded right now.
