Peacock Mantis Shrimp Odontodactylus scyllarus
A Peacock Mantis Shrimp peers out from it's burrow, these animals are not shrimp and are quite intelligent with extraordinary vision that can see in 16 different colours as well as circularly polarised light. No one is really sure why their vision is apparently so advanced. Their claws are used for smashing prey and strike with the speed of a rifle bullet and even if they miss the shock wave may break open their prey's shell. They have been known to break aquarium glass. Larger Image:Mantis Shrimp Olympus OM-D EM-1 MkII + 60mm macro. INON strobes, Nauticam housing. 1/250 @ f8 ISO400 Chris Ross
