Did this shrimp get into a fight with a highlighter? No -- this is actually a California mantis shrimp, distinguished by its bright yellow and blue markings. Mantis shrimp can strike their prey incredibly quickly, more than 50 times faster than the blink of an eye! This one was spotted in the deep waters of Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
