Peacock mantis shrimps are coldblooded, meaning their body temperature is largely determined by the surrounding environment. They are ectothermic creatures that do not regulate their internal temperature independently. Instead, their metabolic processes and activity levels fluctuate with changes in water temperature.
Mantis Shrimp eat shrimps, fish, squid and octopus.
Mantis shrimps undergo a complex life cycle that begins with fertilized eggs, which are typically carried by the female until they hatch into larvae. These larvae, known as zoea, undergo several molts and stages in the planktonic phase before settling to the ocean floor. Once they settle, they metamorphose into juvenile mantis shrimps, which eventually grow into adults. The entire life cycle can vary in duration depending on species and environmental conditions, but it generally spans several months to a few years.
The Mantis Shrimp and Mollusks are both invertebrates, but the mantis shrimp is technically in the phylum arthropoda (meaning jointed foot) and a mollusk is from the phylum mollusca (meaning soft body, but usually has a hard shell).
