My NEW new mantis shrimp :)

Well I got my new mantis (as opposed to the other chiragra I had gotten). I think is is a glabrous, but it might be a graphurous. I got a look at its tail and it didn't look like it has median carnule, but I don't know how obvious that is. Maybe Dr. Roy can give a positive id. I couldn't find the gonopods if they were there, so it is probably a female. Of course I am no expert! Anyways, I really really like this mantis! It is beautiful and way more interactive than the chiragra. It is very interested in what is going on outside the tank and doesn't hesitate to give a threat display. Anyways, enjoy the pics!
