Yes, it's a spearing type. It is called a Pseudosquilla ciliata and they can be many different colors including green, yellow, brown, black, and cream. It can be one solid color, have a stripe running down the back, or a mottled appearance. Color and pattern often matches color of habitat. Will change color in the aquarium across molts depending on lighting and habitat color.

That guy knows his stuff about mantis shrimp!

I know many people look at these shrimp as a pest but man do they have the most interesting personalities!
