I was watching discovery channel the other day and they had a prehistoric isopod episode featuring a little bit about the mantis shrimp. I guess they have the fastest strike in the world and they are very, very aggresive. The MS they had on the show was in a small tank and was striking at the host's fingers through the glass. He looked amazing! Of course I would never want to pet him though...
