yep, those are mantis shrimp and are very common and are badazz little buggers, they swing their little claw arm (hanging down at the bottom) like a club with enough force to break through glass bottles and have been shown doing it on discovery channel when they put food in a bottle in front of it.
they don't usually get that big though, maybe 4" or so, so im thinking this might be a fudged camera angle closeup shot trying to sensationalize it for the news
I ate one before and they taste just like regular shrimp but are rubbery like lobsters
