Well  found my Mantis shrimp [url2='http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/crustacea/malacostraca/eumalacostraca/royslist/species.php?name=g_ternatensis':6lmcfbbn]http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/crustacea/malacostraca/eumalacostraca/royslist/species.php?name=g_ternatensis[/url2:6lmcfbbn]

 

mine is a chiragra, supposed to be the hardest hitters, unfortunately doesn't come out to play very often....

 

I hope you mantis lovers saw the last issue of Coral Mag that was all about Mantis shrimp. I'm not a lover but there was a tone of information there. Check it out

 

yeah there was alot of info. I cant believe the guy was holding one in his bare hands.

 

i like my fingers, and I've seen what mine can do to rocks, so negative on holding one for me
