  1. lol the way it looks at you. Given its reputation...chilling. Posted 6 years ago
    1. It was scurrying around, and stop briefly each time to assess where I was at.
      They can be fun to observe, especially their eyes.

''Odontodactylus scyllarus'', known as the peacock mantis shrimp, harlequin mantis shrimp, painted mantis shrimp, or clown mantis shrimp, is a large mantis shrimp native to the Indo-Pacific from Guam to East Africa.

In the saltwater aquarium trade, it is both prized for its attractiveness and considered by others to be a dangerous pest.
