Oct 1, 2010: Shrimp DeJour
Behold the Peacock Mantis Shrimp, like something Disney animators would dream up... on acid.
He looks like a Harlequin clown of the sea, but he's really a killer clown from the deep. He esentially bludgeons his prey to pieces, to eat their bloody pulp. Quote:

I don't eat shellfish But he sure is purdy. I'd keep one as a pet and give him creatures to smash. I'd call him Archibald.

It would have punched you at 50mph, and then laughed, and went back to the bottom of the sea anyway.
