LOL?
MAIN SPOILER: the title containing -how- is a big big clickbait.
Nowhere in this 10 min video does it say precisely what is the reason why the mantis shrimp does not go on and eat the clam.
Probably they don't know the answer, but it would be nice to say it earlier, or at least to be explicit about it, or at least not put that video title, or that video description. come on.

Fascinating stuff! Thank you so much for getting the actual scientist involved! It's always wonderful to hear the experts talk about their pet passion, especially since I'm a bio student and totally get the hype!
The Mantis Shrimp is really strong usually, but its Ability gives it the only known weakness to the move Flash.

umm prey identification. There was a backyard experiment where a guy put a blackwidow in a bucket with a green mantis. The mantis wouldn't attack the spider to point that the spider could walk under the mantis. The guy put a smaller brown mantis in the bucket. The brown mantis jumped on the spider immediately.

I like that she has a coral reef necklace, and that it matches the colors of her fingernails. This girl is cute, and, she's all 'into it' (what she studies. She loves her job bcuz to her, seeking knowledge is intriguing, and she luvs talking about her interesting research! (: Bravo on this production, good job!

In the name of science I would just like to offer up my apologies - I don't know anything about guns or bullets and there are quite a few metrics mixed up in my head but apparently I meant a 22 caliber bullet? Apologies for any confusion in speed. Still, super fast, haha. Cheers.

I was hoping for an explanation of the mechanism that made the shrimp suffer a BSOD, but it was still a very interesting video. The subtitles were a bit hilarious, though - they kept calling the shrimp -manta shrimp-.

If I recall: Mantis shrimp are able to see so many more colors of light than any other creature on the world, due to their specialized eyes. Perhaps this has something to do with why they become mesmerized by these clams?

We're in the moment in time, in evolutionary history, where the disco shrimp's mechanism works against mantis shrimp. But it won't always be that way, possibly.
