The Pistol Shrimp

The Pistol shrimp is not ordinary shrimp. They are about an inch long and have one (sometimes two) oversized claws. What is so intriguing about it is that when it snaps its claws shut, it forces out a powerful jet of bubbles that travels at an incredible rate of 60mph. When these bubbles implode, they realease a bright flash of light. Not only that, immense heat is released upon impact, and the temperature inside the bubbles reach over 5,000 degrees Kelvin, momentarily reaching the temperature of the sun! With this fascinating yet deadly attack, the pistol shrimp can easily stun prey like fish. These shrimp are known also for being one of the loudest creatures on Earth. It's claw's snapping sound can go up to 200 decibels. A human eardrum ruptures just at 150. Another bizzare thing about this creature is that it has a symbiotic relationship with species of the Goby fish. Since the postil shrimp has poor vision, the goby fish would warn the shrimp if danger is approaching by breaking contact from the antennae. In my opinion that would be the only reason for why the pistol shrimp doesn't eat the goby fish as well. In return of the "favor", the shrimp builds a burrow for the goby fish to live in.
