For those i talked to at the march meeting at jims(by the way thanks for hosting and being so great at it jim, the clam looks gorgeous!) here is an article about the giant mantis shrimp i was telling yall about. its not the exact same articles about the leg getting whacked off(im still vigorously searching for it) but i figured since i told yall id show you the proof here it is.

not being able to find the story about the man losing his leg leaves me thinking that it may have been a phoney article that has since been deleted. so you guys telling me it might be an urban legend could be right, no matter i will keep up my ever vigilant eye out for the article and will post as soon as i find it :lol:

until then i thought it would be cool to start a new thread about relative news pertaining to marine biology and our hobby, tell me what yall think about setting a separate section up??? would you be down with that chris???
