okok so my first pick is the pacific sleeper shark !! they're one of the species that participate in the mobile scavenger phase, so it is very good for them . plus they look so stupid silly i love them !! one of our most mysterious creechures rahhhh

for the enrichment opportunity phase , i would like 2 go with the balloon worm !! theyre a polychaete that eats carrion , so whale falls can be beneficial to them :3 theyre a super odd looking sea worm and they go blobloblob and i keep misclassifying them as scyphozoans .... help ......

i do not know much about species that inhabit the final stages of whale falls , so BAM GET HIT W ANOTHER MOBILE SCAVENGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!11uhmmm hits u w the peacock mantis shrimp !! i dont know much about them tbh and im pretty sure they dont actually participate in whalefalls .....bbbut they look so so silly.....

15 superbes animaux étonnants et plutôt insolites

Behold! Alien life. 😱Just kidding: it’s the peacock mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus)! This strange-looking critter just so happens to have one of the fastest recorded punches of any living animal, clocking in at 50 miles per hour (80.5 km/h) to crush the shells of its prey. Beyond its powerful punch, it also has some of the most advanced eyes, with the ability to process ultraviolet, infrared, and polarized light! It can be found in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

What would you say your favorite marine crustacean is? + some info on them if you feel like it

Giant Isopods are probably my favorite (see my recent post here),

A close second is literally any kind of shrimp.

Crystal Red Shrimp (Caridina cf. cantonensis) and the Peacock Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus).

There are approximately 3,000 species of shrimp. They can be found in any ocean and there are even some freshwater species!

Consider making a case 53 sona... all the introspection with half the stakes, plus you get to invent a Creatchure!

Personally, if Doctor Mother isekai'd me I might become either Overgrowth (plant shapeshifter) or Scylla (basically like, if a bnha mutant quirk was based on a peacock mantis shrimp. creds to @thesternest for inspiring me to lean into Shrimp. i won't step on your toes if you want to use the idea yourself though).

scylla's like this kinda! and she can concussive blast you!

I KNOW y’all have thought about it, but realistically, what would your shard power be? I would love to be a tinker, I basically am already, but this is what I think my power would be:

I can stop time for the entire universe, everything stops except me. I can walk around, do whatever I want, and time won’t continue until I want it to. Anything I’m holding also continues in time just as I do, (a book, a computer would still run on wifi, a gun works, ect) I can still age when I use my power, which is the big downside. I will most likely age much faster than others, I think it’s a well rounded power, and I can also think of a couple experiences that would trigger this type of power. It seems strong, but I can’t affect anything other than what I’m touching when I activate my power, so it’s not too OP.

I wouldn’t even be a cape, I would just spend time recharging.

Anyway anybody else thought of what their power would be?

Peacock Mantis Shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus)

Habitat & Distribution

Generally resides in coral reefs and sandy flats, at depths up to 3 m (9.8 ft)

Found throughout the Indo-Pacific, from the eastern coast of Africa to the Phillipines

Physical Description

Weight: 12-90 g (0.4-3.2 oz)

Length: 10-38 cm (4-15 in)

Peacock mantis shrimp are extremely colourful; the main shell is mottled green and blue, and the legs are red

On either side of the head are large, green, fan-like structures called antennae scales, and the head itself is blue with purple eyes

Behaviour

Peacock mantis shrimp hunt their prey by ambush, and use their powerful claws to smash the shells of mollusks and crustaceans

They reside in underground burrows, which they defend fiercely

Peacock mantis shrimp can be prey for large fish, cuttlefish, squid and octopus

Key Advantages

The peacock mantis shrimp has an extremely fast punch, reaching speeds of 80 kph (50 mph); its limb accelerates at 100,000 m/s2 (330,000 ft/s2) which creates momentary bubbles of boiling water

The exterior of their clubs are made of hydroxyapatite, an extremely hard and dense material

They can swim at speeds of up to 1 m/s (3.2 ft/s)

Ocean announcement:

Today's special guest is the Mantis Shrimp, or the Odontodactylus scyllarus, and is found in the warm areas of the Indian and Pacific Ocean! Their quite beautiful colour is attributed to communication and mating rituals with other mantis shrimps, aswell as being able to see 4 times as complex as our own human vision, which helps identify the difference between predator and friend more swiftly. However, the colourful exterior of this shrimp is not its most defining feature! The mantis shrimp is known for having one of, if not the, strongest punches from any animal in the world. Hitting with a force of 15,000 Newtons, or roughly the equivalent of a .22 caliber bullet, this animal can deliver an attack over 2,500 times it's own weight. This attack is most designed for attacking and cracking mollusks shells, which allow the shrimp to feed on pr- AHH OW GOD OW. OW. IT HIT ME. OOHHH. AAHH. THAT HURTS A LOT. AHH. I THINK THE BONE'S BROKEN. OW. AH.
