You all did notice this correct? I didn't see a thread about it so I figured I'd just make mention. Sorry if it has already been pointed out. I know the sales page has been up for at least a couple of days if not more.

Not a very attractive specimen but for $19.99 it's a bargain.

Colors are more attractive from the front and side where you can see the colored apendages. From the top you mostly see the brown shell. I am surprised LA decided to show a top-down shot.

if you read the top it says "Gonodactylellus spp" Im not sure that your getting that exact one.

Good point, Nik. Plus, it's listed as "lime green mantis", so it's probably N. wennerae. You can get those for $10 all day from Tampa Bay Saltwater.
