The Mantis Shrimp (Oratosquilla oratoria) is one of the coolest creatures under the sea. Every tiny detail of this real shrimp can be studied up close from any angle. 

This species lives in the Western Pacific and is widely harvested in Japan for food. Lately, it has popped up in other places like Australia, where it’s considered an invasive species. It gets its name from the long, powerful front “mantis-like arms” it uses to catch invertebrates and small fish.

As with all natural specimens in resin, size, shape, and color may vary slightly. You’re getting a quality specimen in a Lucite block that measures about 5 1/2 inches tall, 2 1/2 inches wide, and 3/4 of an inch thick.
