The Amazing Peacock Mantis Shrimp

This guy is Odontodactylus Scyllarus, AKA the Peacock Mantis Shrimp. This video is from Taiwan; it's a shame they keep him like this, because he has nowhere to hide and the lights are too bright. Looking like some kind of alien dragon thing, he has hyper-spectral vision (a bit like predator) and such a powerful punch, similar to a bullet, he can damage the plexi-glass walls of his aquarium.

Not the kind of thing you want to meet in a dark alley - or when snorkeling! Some people have these as pets, since they are very beautiful and intelligent - some people have these as dinner, since they are very tasty... apparently. I personally wouldn't eat one.
