Hehe.

re: #345 Fozzie Bear

Yeah, I’m really sad that most aquarium owners consider Mantis Shrimp to be pests. Though that’s probably because most of them have their first experience with the shrimp when fish and invertebrates start to mysteriously go missing one by one.

Really though, mantis shrimp are some of the most awesome predators on earth. Those raptorial appendages having the force of a .22 caliber bullet in some species. The eyes being able to see in an incredible variety of ways including polarized light and 3d in a single eye. And they are smart. Informal experiments on my part seem to indicate that they can actually distinguish between individual humans (the one that feeds them being their favorite, lol).
