Sweet i want one.

A mate had a shrimp thing which punched its food to smash it up. Apparently it could break you fingers with ease. Never got to try it as it shattered the tank side attacking its reflection or something and died. Laughing

Had a mantis shrimp arrive in some live rock I bought for my tank a couple of years ago. Took months to trap him and take him back to the shop. Really didn't want him cracking the glass on a 90 Gallon aquarium!!!

Just googled mantis shrimp to see what you were talking about. Holy mother of god that's a strange looking little thing, the attitude is brilliant though. I now know what Weegies evolved from Laughing

I asked my dad to get the pistol shrimp for his tank but he said it would get eaten Laughing

I thought I get one for my room but then imagine the noise at night... Shocked
