  • well you're entitled to your opinion... I'm confident however that vegies are not in its diet.

  • You're almost correct... the thing you're forgetting is momentum or the lack there of. The mass of the mantis shrimp hammer is pale in comparrison to .22 cal bullet even on a full growen specimen so there isn't enough momentum to do the same level of damage, it's also on a hinge preventing it from going further. .22's are also designed to tear appart on impact doing more damage. You can imagine why that would not bode well for a shrimps lifespan.

  • i heard that mantis shrimp can break through your aquarium glass.. any problems with that?

  • Nope... just don't buy snails that crawl on the glass.

  • How is that even a shrimp? it looks like a bloody lobster.

  • It's actually neither... someone once gave it this name and it stuck.
