The divers in the previous picture were all waiting for a glimpse of this creature, a spearing mantis shrimp. This shrimp is huge - much closer to the size of a lobster. It is rarely seen out of its hole, but if you lure it with a piece of fish, it will jump out, spear the fish with its huge claws and retreat back into the hole, all in less than a second.
