Turning Sound Into Light - Minute Physics
To clarify, mantis shrimp don't create sonoluminescence in the same way that pistol shrimp do, by "squeezing their claws together". They create it when the smack things, like snails, really hard with their raptorial appendages.
Another interesting angle to think about: We have all of this scientific interest in sonoluminescence, and the host of cool hypotheses mentioned, not just because it's cool. ..but because, among other things, the Navy REALLY wants to understand the process of cavitation, and throws money at research on the subject. Why? because ship and submarine propellers also create cavitation, and they want to create war machines that are not loud and whose propellers last longer.

This happens with ?pistol shrimp? right?

doesn't pistol shrimp's claw snap faster than that?
I think Qi discovered that the shrimp was the loudest and extremely fast...but this is faster.

i'm still faster in bed than those two.
but seriously, isn't a pistol shrimp faster than the mantis shrimp?
Strongest Punch in the World
Actually, that Patek talk mentions the cavitation generated in mantis shrimp strikes.... this is the same phenomenon that gives the pistol shrimp it's power.

Awesome boxer, but he's got nothing on Pistol Shrimp.

Chilaxe, no, it doesn't, but it does make a cracking sound not unlike that of a pistol.
