Peacock Mantis Shrimp, also known as Odontodactylus scyllarus, are striking and formidable marine crustaceans known for their vibrant colors and powerful claws. They are not true mantis shrimps but belong to a separate group called stomatopods. These shrimp have incredibly fast and strong appendages that they use to capture prey, which can include fish, crabs, and even snails.
