Hi all. I’m new to the forum :) last week I purchased what I was told was a peacock mantis but I am certain it was mislabelled.
Attached are some photos I have of the shrimp but I have no idea about the species. It is definitely not a smithiii

Welcome to R2R! Not sure what type of mantis that is, typically peacocks are greenish with colorful patterns but I have seen a couple that where almost solid orange.. hopefully someone that knows will chime in soon.
 
Looks like a female G. Ternatensis, a better view of the meral spots would give me a better guess.
