Fact.

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v413/n6855/abs/413477a0.html

Snapping shrimp produce a loud crackling noise1, 2 that is intense enough to disturb underwater communication. This sound originates from the violent collapse of a large cavitation bubble generated under the tensile forces of a high-velocity water jet formed when the shrimp's snapper-claw snaps shut3 (Fig. 1). Here we show that a short, intense flash of light is emitted as the bubble collapses, indicating that extreme pressures and temperatures of at least 5,000 K (ref. 4) must exist inside the bubble at the point of collapse. We have dubbed this phenomenon 'shrimpoluminescence' â€" the first observation, to our knowledge, of this mode of light production in any animal â€" because of its apparent similarity to sonoluminescence5, 6, the light emission from a bubble periodically driven by ultrasound.

Crazy!

thats crazy! i knew pistols were strong but not that strong

 

[jay2525]

you guys should watch the one where the eel bites the guys thumb off......

 

[epicfish]

And you can hear the POP through the water? Hehe. It was posted sometime back.

 

[dchan928]

the pistol shrimp video was interesting....

and OUCH! for the guy in the eel video....but the transplant surgery was kinda cool...lol...

 

[glockcoma]

those videos are bad***, thanks for sharing.

 

[critmin]

I like the sound effects!

 

[critmin]

Oh wait so you can't have a pistol shrimp and a cleaner shrimp in the same tank?

Wait, how could the bubble create enough energy to make it as hot as the sun? That doesn't make any sense, and if it was as hot as the sun how does it not cook both shrimps immediately?

 

[bromion]

Ah ha! So that is what has happened to all my cleaner shrimps. I thought it was MY fault somehow.

Sweet video, too!

It does, and sautes them in garlic butter sauce too!

 

[critmin]

Oh nice! Can someone photoshop a pistol shrimp with a chef hat on? I wonder which tastes better. Those cleaner shrimps can get to a pretty decent size. I bet they are delicious!

 

[critmin]

Bon Appetit!

I was thinking of getting a goby/pistol pair for my tank. but I guess not, I want to have other shrimps and crabs in my tank. That video was awesome...sonic booooom.

 

[Frankysreef]

mine zapped me in my thumb once.. ouch..

He was later killed through the use of interceptor.

Better off he kept eating my snails.

Whoa, you took the heat of the sun on your thumbs! :smokin:

I just checked out the video of the eel that bites the dudes thumb off. What crazy is they cut off one of his toes & grafted to his hand. LOL................ http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5383549319778701740&q=moray+eel+thumb
