Calappidae
Harlequin Shrimp
I don't wish for O. scyllarus is be illegalized (although G. tern I wouldn't mind), they don't push that border far enough like crinoids or fromia starfish, but it definitely is a lack of education that pushes the success/fail ratio towards the fail side more. If LFS, collectors, and the buyers knew the actual frailness and how to prepare for it, O. scyllarus would have even better success in keeping.
A lot of people have that mentality of "Mantis Shrimp = Very easy" regardless of the species, which is what O. scyllarus particularly suffers from as other species commonly seen usually are as easy as one would assume. Over the years, people are beginning to become more and more aware of how stomatopods need their special requirements, hopefully this trend continues and then O. scyllarus won't be as threatened.
