Mantis Shrimp Odontodactylus scyllarus occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific in a depth range from 0-100m. It is one of the larger, more colourful mantis shrimps commonly seen, ranging in size from 3-18cm. \nTheir ability to see circularly polarised light has led to studies to determine if the mechanisms by which their eyes operate can be replicated for use in reading CDs and similar optical information storage devices. \nThis species is an active hunter during the day, it prefers gastropods, crustaceans, and bivalves and will repeatedly smash its prey until it can gain access to the soft tissue for consumption. \nThis specimen is looking out of its hole, a typical behavior. \nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°27'38.166 N 125°13'34.284 E at 16m depth
