It is not my intention to compare post counts between threads.

I'm only affirming that I did, indeed, know about dat mantis skrimp.

Monet could see UV, looks "bluish" because of wavelength proximity to blue light:

Some humans have 4 color receptors, can see redder reds, etc.

It should be possible to infer what colors would look like, based on what wavelengths receptors are sensitive to (unless of course, they are sensitive to really strange wavelengths).

always knew about the violent streak, never knew about the vision.

very nice infographic.

4/10/2013 5:37:50 PM

One question that the infographic did not answer:

Are they delicious?

this thread is awesome

6/7/2013 8:58:41 PM

I perhaps will get a mantis skrimp for my class next school year... teaching three sections of marine science. Can they have anything else in the tank with them?

[Edited on June 7, 2013 at 9:19 PM. Reason : of course name it Macklemore. ]

6/7/2013 9:17:51 PM

No.

6/7/2013 9:35:08 PM

^^ Also keep in mind that some mantis species can break the tank if they feel like it.
