These mantis shrimp has these two “clubs” for front arms. They use them to stun or bludgeon their pretty. They can move them so fast that they can create pockets of vacuum in the water that then rapidly collapse. I think it’s called cavitation. The collapsing bubble can even generate light.
Don’t make a mantis shrimp in an aquarium angry, those appendages are strong enough to break glass.
Only thing I know about mantis shrimp is they have like 26 rods and cones compared to our puny 3-4, so they can see colors we cant even imagine like blurple or flungure
Tldr if anyone can ?
