Ya, looks like shell rot, try to isolate the mantis. Once isolated, keep your water quality high and encourage a molt. I have had this before in the mantis I had, once it molts, remove the exoskeleton as quickly as possible. I think this is the only way to fix the problem. Just my thoughts on it, hope it helps.
