Reaching a length of up to 5.5 centimeters (or about 2 inches), the bigclaw snapping shrimp is the largest member of the family Alpheidae, which are also known as the pistol shrimp. It is found in water up to 30 meters (98 feet) deep from as far north as North Carolina’s Outer Banks to the Brazilian coast. It also is able to survive in areas of rapidly different salinity; A. heterochaelis has be found in environments that range from mesohaline (having a salinity of 5 to 18 parts per thousand) to hyperhaline (having a salinity of 40+ ppt). This means that it lives in environments that range from brackish to seawater of above average salinity. It is most commonly found in areas where cover can be easily found during the day, such as an oyster reef.

Warren's Lobster House is located on the southern tip of Maine's coast and serves the freshest seafood, lobster and fish. The family-friendly restaurant also has chicken, steak and other seafood available. Warren's Lobster House is a destination restaurant perched on top of wood pilings above the waters of the Piscataqua River. It's located on US 1 and has been open since 1940.

Over 25 years ago, a new species was discovered that completely shocked the world, a crayfish-like no other, named the marbled crayfish.As their name suggests, they include an alluring brown colored marbled pattern, which is identical from individual to individual. To this day, the marbled crayfish is more diverse than any other crayfish because it is able to clone itself without any involvement of a male, in a matter of hours. This crayfish is new mutant species which has generated immense concern as a potential invasive species. What really shocks the scientists is the fact that they can reproduce at extraordinary rates from 250 to 300 clones in a few months and are already spreading rapidly throughout the globe. This creature was never

The Purple Marsh Crab, or simply known as the Marsh Crab, is a small crab that is native to the Eastern United States. They live in the salt marshes and mud flats of brackish estuaries, and create networks of connected tunnels within the flats.

Horseshoe crabs are an important part of the wetland ecosystem, however they are going extinct. Due to harvesting, pollution, and other animals consuming their offspring their numbers are dwindling. They play an important part in the ecosystem and need to be protected so they do not become extinct. The Delaware bay has decided to protect them for their future uses in medicine and to keep them as an important role in the ecosystem.

“They see something, walk up to it, pick it up, and maybe beat the crap out of it,” says Justin Marshall, referring to a commonly unknown creature called the Mantis Shrimp. This species often goes overlooked and unnoticed by most of the world and not just because it only grows 2-7 inches (“Peacock Mantis Shrimp” 1). Since it is such an unknown animal, many people do not know what it is or what makes it remarkable. How can the small mantis shrimp, a crustacean whose appearance is more like that of a clown than a ferocious beast, be worth noting in the different fields of science? They are more interesting than they seem. Mantis shrimp possess a vast array of fascinating physical features that set them apart from other sea-dwelling animals: their clubs

The Mantis Shrimp is a mid sized crustacean that can grow up to 3 to 18 centimeters in size. It is known for its bright colors of blues reds and greens, they are primarily green on the belly it has bright reds and oranges on its legs and spots on its framework, while a bright blue is on its eyes. Females are almost always more orange and red than males which are in more various colors. Their spears or clubs are what define this species, these clubs are what mantis shrimp use as a deadly weapon, they can accelerate these clubs at the speed of a bullet from a .22 caliber rifle. Their eyes can see 12 different color waves the most of any animal discovered on earth. They make their homes by burrowing into the ground or finding old burrows left

On this image, we see the external dorsal side of a preserved crayfish. As part of the largest animal phylum the Arthropoda, the body of the crayfish is segmented, with jointed appendages and exoskeleton. The paired antennae (1) are long appendages located the front of the mouth and modified for help the animal to sense touch and taste. The antennules (2) are shorter, also paired with the same function but they also help to maintain balance. The chelipeds (3) are located on the front of the thorax, and they are responsible for defence and grasping food. On the at ventral part of the thorax, we found four pairs of walking legs (4), with these legs the crayfish changes locations on the bottom of freshwater lakes, streams and also on land. They

As the name suggests, the African Land Snail is from Africa originally. It was not intended to be in other countries, like the United States. They were accidentally transported when they got into, cargo boats and planes without people noticing. It is illegal to have these snails as pets in the US so people started to smuggle them in, to sell them on the black market. The African Land Snails are not normal sized snails. They can grown to be about eight inches long, the cone-shaped shell can have about nine spirals and is much larger than normal snails. Its shell can be a range of colors depending on where it is. It can be brown, yellow, or reddish with different markings on each one. When the African land snail lived in Africa it lived in areas

a Regal Angelfish is known or identified by it's color crazed color's.Although it's orange it has blue,white,yellow,and black vertical (up and down) so that's how their also known.they are also known by the stripes on their side.It's also known by it's tail and side fin's because there yellow.So that's how the Regal Angelfish are known.

One of the most mystifying creatures of the deep blue sea, the cuttlefish is not a fish it is some squid-like mollusks. The cuttlefish has a large out stretched body with its mouth being surrounded by tentacles, giving it the nickname head-footed. Cuttlefish around the world varies from sizes of 15cm to 60cm and weigh from the range of 6lb to 23lb. This creature is found throughout the warm tropical shallows of the ocean to the cold depths of the deep ocean.in order for the cuttlefish to survive they are able to change their body color and they body texture to blend in with different marine environments, while being prey upon dolphin, sharks, seals, cuttlefish, and other big fish. The cuttlefish uses its ability of changing colors to hide itself

The graphic text I read is Mantis Shrimp by The Oatmeal and it began with an impressive recount of color perception, with visuals showing me how many colors different land creatures, including humans, can see through our color receptors. Humans have three, butterflies have six (wow, it is amazing!). It then showed me that the Mantis Shrimp, a teeny weeny little spectrally colorful sea creature, has 16 color receptors! As The Oatmeal describes, Human beings can effectively see a rainbow from just three colors; a shrimp mantis, however, sees a rainbow as a thermonuclear bomb or light and beauty. This introduction was an excellent build-up to introduce the reader to the amazing creature that is, the Mantis Shrimp.

Furthermore, there are aquatic organisms such as the mantis shrimp that has an estimated 12-16 photoreceptor cells. In the presence of the 750 nm wavelength of light that humans cone cells aren’t sensitive enough to signal an observation, the mantis shrimps red cone cells are sensitive to this wavelength of light and can absorb the wavelengths to send a response to their brain. In the presence of UV-B (290-320 nm) wavelengths, humans blue cone cells aren’t sensitive enough or able to absorb enough of the light to signal a response to their brain. Whereas the Mantis Shrimp has various photo receptors that are sensitive to these

The spirit animal crab, is a very emotional animal. Crabs also have a 'hard shell' that they always put up when they are in the presence of other people who they don't trust. Their 'shell breaks' only when they are with people that they fully trust, other than that, they show no real emotion to anybody else. Crabs can help you choose the right way to go in life. Crabs can teach you how to keep your emotions guarded because they have so much experience themselves. They are very sentimental and tend to hold on to the smallest things Crabs are strong-willed and love to get their way. If their kindness and gentleness doesn't do the trick, even though, they're not very proud while using emotional manipulation to make things happen. If that still
