Mantis Shrimp ID

[MrMatt]

I got this mantis from my LFS today, they ordered me a Odontodactylus scyllarus but I leaning more to Gonodactylus chiragra. Its about 10cm.

 

Thanks for looking,

Matt

Thanks I'm familiar with that site think its a wonderful guide, just hoping for a better eye then mine. Roy informed me that it is in fact a Gonodactylus chiragra and sexed it as female. Not as active as a species as I would have preferred but interesting none the less.
