actually not a true Shrimp, it is actually a type of Stomotopod that frequently comes with live rock. It eats basically anything and can cause havoc in reef systems. Peacock Mantis' are known to grow up to 6'' and some species have the striking power of a .22 pistol! They're by far the coolest live rock hitchhiker. If you have a Mantis Shrimp, it may make a sharp CRACKING noise which means its banging or striking against the glass or something in your tank; known to eat coral, fish and inverts.

Gods favorite animal. Being Gods favorite animal it can shatter glass instantly and can see more colors than people due to having more color recepters in their eye. If that wasn't enough they can also be born with one of two types of hands. One of the two types of hands is a claw which has the power to kill a crab instantly. The other is even more powerful and it is a club hand the club hand strikes so fast and hard it generates plasma for a split second. Lastly they also strike in less than half a second.

The mantis shrimp sees more colors than any other animal. ... As compared to humans' measly three color-receptive cones, the mantis shrimp has 16 color-receptive cones, can detect ten times more color than a human, and probably sees more colors than any other animal on the planet.
