Mantis Shrimp is an evil little guy, but I think they're pretty cool. They spear or smash crabs, snails, and sometimes fish to eat, and have the power to split open a finger. Named for the eye stalks that make it look like a Mantis bug.
Anyways, cool encounter! Who would have thought you would find a Mantis on the beach.
relax bro i was just trying to make him strike with his claw appendages to get it on camera it wasn't hurting him and i did release him in deeper water!
