SW: Lysiosquillina glabriuscula (Mantis Shrimp)

[Reefscape]

I paid a visit to my local fish shop while i was out on my travels today...Happily browsing around the tanks, looking over the stock, when i come across this beast......It was an absolutly stunning mantis..Its body was about 6 - 7 inches long...Tried to get a pic of it being fed but it was too fast for my phone cam to get it extending....

Enjoy....
