The only caveat I'll add here is that many LFS owners are not very knowledgeable about mantis shrimp. You might ask for a Peacock, but get some completely different species. It happens to lots of people. My first mantis was sold to me as a Peacock but was actually a G. Chiragra.

Having said that, if you have a good LFS that you trust, Jlents is right that you might be able to get a Peacock for cheaper than the online prices.
