    This is my mantis shrimp I've been asking a lot of questions about:
    YouTube - Peelz, The Peacock Mantis Shrimp

    He's molting now, so he will be a little bit bigger than he was in this video, which was about 4 1/2"
    It's a male peacock mantis shrimp that I got for Christams from my dad.

    Just wanted to share him!

    I fed him a crayfish once, he killed that thing so fast!

    Once he finishes molting, I'll go get another one and get a video of the battle.

    Thanks for everyone's comments!
    His name is Peelz because in Left 4 Dead, Louis says "Grabbing Pills" but it sounds like "Grabbin' Peelz"

    Stupid name but I liked it, lol
