I used a steal clamp that kept that beast a good 6 inches from my hand. I've heard the horror stories of the hammer claw those things posess and wasn't about to chance it.

thanks for the report

I did not know we had Mantis Shrimp around here. Are they common? In all my years of diving, I have never seen one in San Diego.

Those Mantis Shrimp are delicious.

I had them in Thailand served in Curry, It was the first time I saw one up close.
The Chef cornered it with a plastic laundry basket and hauled it off into the kitchen. I was curious about the instrument he used, but found out why soon after.

They will hurt you bad if they strike at you.

Nice report!

I'm just glad I can contribute.

If you see a big Mexican guy in that blue Prowler, say "what's up", name's Chris.
