Mantis Shrimp can punch as hard as a bullet, can break aquarium glass and can create a cavitation bubble hotter than the sun.

- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 3y agoHas NIF tried mantis shrimp?
- andrewflnr 3y agoThis is the closest I found, searching for "acoustic confinement fusion". Short story: probably doesn't work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_fusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_fusion

- UncleOxidant 3y agowait, how is Dom the domino fish surviving with that mantis shrimp? Or is Dom just food for the mantis shrimp?

- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoI only knew that I had one in my tank because I would hear the loud "crack" at night. Luckily it was the shrimp making the noise, not the glass breaking. Months later when I drained the tank to move into a new house, and removed all the live rock I found it dead at the bottom. Amazing that such a tiny thing can make so much noise.
- jstarfish 3y agoYou sure that wasn't a tiger pistol shrimp? Mantis shrimp are exotic terrors of the deep you don't exactly forget you have.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoAfter doing a bit of research I think you're right. For some reason I got them confused.
- jstarfish 3y agoThey're one of two shrimp associated with the tapping noise, so it's an easy mistake. You usually have to special-order mantis shrimp. It's easy to accidentally get a pistol shrimp when you asked for a peppermint; they look similar.
- UncleOxidant 3y ago> Mantis shrimp are exotic terrors of the deep you don't exactly forget you have. Yep. Any fish you put in the tank would disappear soon after.
