the video is awesome! it was pretty nuts to see the water vaporize in those still frames.

I was looking up mantis shrimp the other night during my research hours

and found thta there are mantis shrimp recipes, and i know that they arent paying 30 $ for each of them! they are pretty cool creatures.

Boy, if you have one of these guys in your aquarium,I hope he doesn't realize that at over 200lbs of force

He could take out you glass if he hits it enough
