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.

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