May we introduce you to your new favorite animal: the Stomatopods… or more commonly known as the Mantis Shrimp. 

These cute little small shrimps are glorious to look at. They come in a variety of beautiful colors that leave you in complete awe (and frankly quite bored with your own skin color). However, their outer appearances are not the only thing that make these guys endlessly awesome. Because Mantis Shrimp might look all ‘underwater miracle’, but these bastards are actually aquatic nightmares. 

The Mantis Shrimp is known to be creatively violent. They have been blessed with multiple vicious features that make their prey absolutely chanceless.

First of all: their extremely well developed eye sight. A mantis shrimp has the most elaborate visual systems ever discovered. 
They are categorized in two different types: the ones equipped with killer spear claws and the one that are called smashers. These guys use a built in club to bludgeon and smash their meals apart. Classy.

These colorful guys are also very notorious additions to your aquarium. They are voracious predators, eating other desirable inhabitants of the tank and some of the largest species can break aquarium glass with their club. Which by the way is said to have the force of a 22 caliber bullet.
