Mantis Shrimp

[Mortiiss]

Are the kings of the sea. Best animal I've ever seen. Look at this shit:

http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp

1. They see 16 different colors whereas we only see 3 and all variances of the 3.
2. One of the most violent sea creatures, instantly attacking any other creature who approaches their lair. They also go out on hunts unlike other crustaceans.
3. Two raptorial appendages on the front of its body known as "murder sticks". These things pop loud and can shatter aquarium glass easily.
4. Moves quickly and exerts force using supercavitation, which it can use to push other creatures away and in some cases, kill them.
5. Produces tiny bursts of light through a process called sonoluminescence.

And the final bit:
Despite seeing a vast rainbow of colors and a very interesting beautiful world, this creatures decides to live in a cave, look awesome, and kill everything else that comes near it. That's awesome.

If you're human, I'd hope so - otherwise, that'd be pretty pathetic.

with my pecker

[Mortiiss]

They don't actually see 16 different colors. theoatmeal is entertaining, but not exactly primary literature. The extra cones are for detecting em energy outside of visible range, including uv, polarization, and the rest are for processsing it all right in their eyes, since they have shrimp for brains.

And it was meant to be entertaining. Thanks for the fact check anyway, though.

I want to fight one of these things right now lets do this.

I'm fine with this because mantid shrimp and octopuses are the heralds of Cthulu, so their death orgies will help summon the beast forth from the dark depths of the sunken city of R'lyeh.

[Sales Mule]

One of these piggy-backed into my tank on some live rock. Nearly ate everything before I could catch him. These guys can take off a finger.

[Hasbinbad]

[Captivate]

aren't these mantis shrimp upwards of 200 dollars to purchase?

pretty unlikely both of you found it in some live rock.

Regardless of what she may or may not have said about the shape of my penis, which seems to be the hot topic of RnF lately, she certainly didn't say anything like what you're here implying she did.

She told me your dick looked like a mantis shrimp.

She told me your dick looked like a mantis shrimp.

But is it tasty? The shrimp, I mean.

[Allizia]

They eat Mantis Shrimp like lobster in Asia, freaked me out a bit when I first saw them in a fish market.

[Seltius]

They are fun to watch. I have seen them demolish snails and hermit crabs in a tank. There is a shop near me that has a species tank with one in it. I have seen it break glass, plastic, and anything else it wanted to.

I was debating on setting one up at my office but then I figured if a client came in with their kids and one of them stuck their hand in the tank id end up with a lawsuit.. Stopped that line of thought real quick.

Actually a mantis shrimp is considered a pest it wasn't until more recently that people started keeping them in species only tanks. Almost any actual live rock(pulled directly from the ocean and transported) can have hitchhikers in it which can include mantis shrimp, aiptasia, different types of worms and other things. Some of the more exotic looking ones can be upwards of $100+

Are 2 sites you can look at different types of marine fish. If Liveaquaria has any in stock normally they are in the Divers Den.

Haha yeah, it'd have to have it's own reserved special space of course. I'd love to watch it smash and destroy stuff though, I love the sound it makes when it stabs stuff.

[Mortiiss]

Smart little fucker.

[Tecmos Deception]

Video of it clicking stuff to death was a letdown.

Also, how exactly does a human arm accelerating at the speed of a .22 caliber rifle bullet manage to throw a baseball into orbit? Teh fuck?

[Mortiiss]

Creepy and good.
