Get some pictures up and we'll see what he is..... or at least what he's not. His whole tank setup will depend on what he is. These boys are pretty darn tough. I have 4 of them. A ciliata, scyllarus, platysoma and the chiragra.
My LFS has a nice 3inch green mantis. I have kept a pistol for a decent amount of time and I have researched the mantis, I want him. They are saving the mantis for me. I know mantis (shrimps though they are not shrimps) can in theory break glass so I was thinking a 12g eclipse tank. I thought I might need to place another piece of acryllic on the bottom. I was thinking a 1/8 inch just beacuse it is easy to cut and locate. The tank is going to be a species tank...him and him alone. Anyone have any avice or first hand expierence?

I know he is a smasher. I will try to get some pictures when my new 105mm macro gets here. Gonodactylellus viridis is close but I doubt it is the same species. The LFS in 2 weeks has already trained him to eat out of a turkey baster...I will probably feed him squid, shrimp, small crabs, and snail. but i'll get some pics so you can let me know a bit better what I am dealing with
I got some pics today, they might help
nice pix...could be a viridis. can ya get a pic of its telsons?

That is the best pic I can get right now...my lfs is holding him for me...when I get him home I will take more.
