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).

Shrimp are crustaceans and all crustaceans are invertebrates, just like insects are. They all have exoskeletons.
