0 Blackfish Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Over the years I've found a couple in packets of prawns, mind you that was a while ago as I've not bought a packet of prawns recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Yowie Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I imagine they would cook up just as nicely as a prawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Starman Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 They are excellent on the plate. Eaten plenty of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Stunami Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 If you build a living coral fish tank the rocks used for this have to be sitting in fresh water for ages to get the mantis shrimp out of the rock otherwise they can smash the fish tank glass, they can also break your fingers if your not careful, strange but true.

Apparently it's this shock wave that does the damage.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
