Re: Why I want a mantis shrimp hunter pet
I listened to a radio special about Mantis Shrimp once! Definitely an amazing, amazing beasty. The assumption is that, for a Mantis Shrimp, a simple rainbow would take up the entire sky.

Re: Why I want a mantis shrimp hunter pet
So much awesome! I got to tell you though ... what really sold me was watching the Mantis Shrimp break through the aquarium glass and ninja maul that human's face ... xenomorph style!
Being a former Marine Biologist (I think that's what he used to do), this should make quite the impression on Ghostcrawler! Forget the dinosaurs ... tame all the crustaceans!

OMG I loved it. Great comic
The "killing fish" part made me sad, though, because killing my seahorses was precisely how I found out about them. It took me ages to find and eradicate it. And then the second one

Re: Why I want a mantis shrimp hunter pet
If I recall, Mantis Shrimp are Ghostcrawler's favorite!
Oh, this chainsawsuit comic also comes to mind ... SEA BUDDIES!. But it's a pistol shrimp, not a mantis shrimp...

Did you put it in there or did it hitch a ride in something? Like why my tanks full of snails that wont go away!

Re: Why I want a mantis shrimp hunter pet
My partner of the time bought me a tank with seahorses for my birthday. Best present ever! There was a big piece of "live rock" in it with all sorts of cool creepy crawlies and little feather worms and stuff. I could spend hours looking for things.cowmuflage wrote:Did you put it in there or did it hitch a ride in something? Like why my tanks full of snails that wont go away!Wain wrote:OMG I loved it.

But every now and then we'd here this piercing noise, like a spoon hitting a glass. It was weird but just added to the mystery. It was only after we found both seahorses dead that we were told by the shop that the noise was a murderous mantis shrimp. That's the sound they make when they excavate tunnels through rock with their claws!

Re: Why I want a mantis shrimp hunter pet
I didn't even need to read all of those things about it. The moment I first saw it, I knew it's the kind of ridiculously looking thing I'd love to add to my hunter's stables. Now knowing it's so beautifully garish AND deadlier than a shark of similar size? Yes, please, now.

In fact, I think it could be potentially the most dangerous animal period that isn't venomous o.O Not sure about that but dem appendages. Just.
