What is the mantis shrimps life cycle?

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.
