Gonodactylaceus ternatensis???

[surfnvb7]

i got a new mantis shrimp that i'm pretty happy about.

he's a good 3-4", and is a nice dark blue color, very pretty. and has a great personality and very outgoing. i haven't seen him attack any inverts yet, but he's still settling down.

i'm pretty sure he is a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis, but on Roy's webpage it shows/says the species is primarily a dark green.....but this guy does have green, but its primarily a dark blue color.

The teslons, uropods, merel spot, and the red/orange stripes along the dorsal side all look identical to the description of the species provided.

i'm happy to have him, b/c he was living in a little 1g pico cube for the past year or two at a LFS. now he's in a 10g tank all to himself...

what do ya'll think?
