U mean Pistol Shrimp?... then no. And it's not the surface of the sun... well it is if 8500 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature of the sun then yes.

The OP is a Mantis Shrimp, and its special feature, besides looking like a freak, is having the most complex eyesight known to man. It can see several more colors than humans can, including ultraviolet and infrared, and they can detect the different planes of polarised light.

You forgot to mention that each eye has trinocular vision and independent depth perception, in addition to being able to see many millions more colors than a human being can see. They can also shoot out its oversized claws with a great deal of energy, breaking shells and bones of prey animals and generating "cavitation bubbles," which are basically pockets of air created inside of the prey's tissue due to the immense 1500 Newton force of the blow. This effectively means that the target is hit twice: once by the claw and once by the collapsing cavities.

They could allready overrun us. But they don't. Trying to cure AIDS and fix the global warming take all their time.

Holy shit.

Mantis Shrimp are fucking awesome. They look so graceful when they swim or even just sitting around undulating the little fin things under their legs, but they fucking tear the shit out of their prey.

I kept seeing pictures of them posted around 4chan, but never actually saw one in motion or knew about their hammer claw.
