Hey guys,

I'm afraid that's not a peacock mantis, or what the common name "peacock mantis" name usually refers to (Odontodactylus scyllarus).

It's likey Gonodactylaceus ternatensis :)

they would most probably batter any crab or snail that will go near it, go on youtube and have a look at some of the vids of them, its quite impressive
