Looks like around 4-5" or so? Glad you were able to find one!

I'm a little worried about a few places but hopefully when it molts it will go back to normal.

Yeah I agree with Martini, just feed a lot to induce a molt. Maybe 2 small portions per day.

Update the shrimp is doing very good active and eat eveything in two week she will be in a new 60 gallon long in my room with a nice wood stand and canopy the setup will be running with 50lbs of base rock and 110 aquaclear filter and a aquamax hob skimmer the shrimp show no interest of the damsel in the tank so i might try to put a nice fish in the 60gal maybe a lionfish ?

I wouldn't use a LionFish...2 predators in 1 system will only mean 1 is likely to die and I don't think it's going to be the mantis.

In my opinion stomatopods are at their best when kept alone, they have no worries about other tank mates and can really show their true personalities without fear or paranoia.
