Peacock Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus) モンハナシャコ – size 17cm
The Peacock Mantis Shrimp is large for a mantis shrimp. They live in burrows in the reef. They use their claws like a boxer and crush shells of shellfish, which they eat. They pack enough of a punch to break the glass in aquariums. Amami 2024
Peacock Mantis Shrimp have cool looking eyes too. They are very shy and duck into their burrows when frightened. Amami 2024
