I read somewhere once that Mantis supposed to be one of the smartest shrimp around so if this is true I am sure they were trying to figure out how to avoid being in the boiling pot than winning the match. Although the one in the middle of the tank think otherwise and seems to be trying to land a KO.

They're also eaten in other countries and some grey/drab ones grow to at least a foot.

Mantis shrimp actually tastes very good (the one I've tried is the one displayed in the pic above). That type of mantis shrimp is also called "Peeing Shrimp" (translated the word from Chinese to English). It is a common food in my hometown in Indonesia, but more famous as a delicacy food in HongKong.
Well, it never hurts to try one =D |

I see nothing but shrimp and abalone. Wheres the slugs you speak of
IIRC our local "ghost shrimp" is one of the largest mantis and is quite well known for it being extremelly tasty.

Actually it is also a delicacy in Japan. I got a chance to eat it raw over there as sushi menu. Very tasty!
One time I took my wife (she is Japanese) to Atlantis Aquarium and they had some mantis for sale. I said wow it's beautiful and she said wow, look's tasty. The same when we went to Monterey Aquarium, we saw big tuna and she said wow I saw sashimi swimming around. So maybe I should not put any clam & urchin on the tank as I am affraid it will end up in our dinner table. |

Too funny, Roy
That is like the zoos in China. Supposedly, the signs on the animal displays have in addition to natural history info, comments like, "Very tasty!" Uni... my favorite sushi ~ |

I've had both my fair share of mantis and abalone. Both foods to die for. When I was working in hong kong, I ate mantis like twice a week.
I have ran across mantis at a restaurant in Milpitas before. They were called squillas on their menu I think. Didnt order it though. They said market price and when asked, market price was $75 a pound.
