Name the Shrimp!

So I had a mantis offered by a very nice man recently.

I'll get him next week.

He sent me a picture of him and I also got some video footage.

Is it enough for an ID? http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5a2360b7...1651831346.mp4

Video doesn’t help but from the spots on his smashers, I’d say peacock

That would be terrible...I have a 10g with strong led's and no skimmer.

Im told he's only 6-8 cm, so I assumed it's not a peacock. He came as a hitchhiker.

Ask if he can get you a pic or video in white light so we can see the colors easier

Given the orange meral spots maybe a graphurus or other shallow water gonodactylid. If it is indeed a tiny peacock then I want some of the live rock it came as a hitch hiker from lol. A picture under white light would definitely help though

He looks kind like a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis, does he have red lines between his shell on his back?
