Sabah.: MALAYSIA.:

 This is an incredibly colourful card that I have just recieved from a friend In Sabah...and shows this particular coloured Crustacean called a "Mantis Shrimp" ( Odontodactylus Scyallarus ). Apparently not only being the most colourful character on the reef he uses his most powerful claws to crush any Shellfish. the Mantis's main diet..he is somewhat of a homicidal character as well.
Thank you so much Fiona for this great card.. and was interesting reading about this monster of the reef.
