- In this video we have an epic showdown between my Peacock Mantis Shrimp and one of the biggest Algae/Rock Hermit Crabs I've ever seen. I thought this would be all over quickly but as you'll see this hermit crab doesn't know the meaning of the word quit and made a great opponent for my mighty mantis shrimp!
Wow, Bruce's tactical awareness and problem solving is something that needs to be seen to be believed...and his landscaping. Diverse skills 😁
That sure was an epic fight, n the song “I hear you knocking” kept coming to mind whilst watching.
I hear you knocking but you cant come in 🎵 😮
I just stumbled onto your channel and just love it. If this is the most recent video I hope you’re still putting out content. Love mantis shrimp and can barely watch these people who have them cramped in these tiny bare tanks and won’t leave them alone when they’re feeding. You have beautiful tanks and take great care of your animals and the videos are top notch. The presentation, the editing, all of it. Hope to see more.
There is definitely more to come, I'm glad you liked the video!
@@KungFuShrimp Please come back we need to see Bruce you’re content is amazing!!!!!!!!!
Bruce looks like he’s gotten more blue since you got him! Such a beautiful creature☺️
Bruce the second was quite red when I got him but he does seem to be changing colour with each molt
@@KungFuShrimp How big is Bruce v2 now? I’m looking into getting a mantis shrimp and I have some 2 inch diameter pvc for the burrow. Is that big enough?
2 inch pvc is what Bruce currently uses, he's about 4-5 inches at the moment but I may need to make it bigger as he grows
@@KungFuShrimp ok awesome! Tysm☺️
@@KungFuShrimp when will you post a new video?
Bruce's drive and will to succeed are unparalleled in the shrimp world, a true gladiator of the fishtank. 🦐
Brilliant commentary. I hope you make more! Lol
Bro really did MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA that hermit crab XD
That was way cool ! Maybe look at trying to put his next pry in some type of enclosure and see if he can open it and then get after it ? The way octopus do ?
Funny you should say that as I have a similar plan for a future video in the works. Thanks for watching!
@KungFuShrimp Great action scene and good educational commentary. Tank looks great, love the macro! Keep it up, my two sons love watching these.
This is a great watch mate. Thanks for posting. New subscriber.
So cool. You are one of my favorite youtubers
Bruce looking like man don't drop nothing else in this tank like that again or its going to be me and you
Thank you mate. Appreciate your video.
Because of that, I have now subscribed!
What would work great with water quality is a roller filter. I love the setup with Bruce
An unpopular opinion these days buit I'm not a fan of roller filters or even filter socks if I can help it. For me it filters out too many of the good micro organisms. I prefer to run relatively slow flow through my sump to allow things in suspension to settle out then clean this out periodically.
Reminds me of that time we were in the Roman Colosseum, the crowd was roaring for our blood- too bad you didn't make it...good times they were, mate !
Your tank awesome first of all and id love if you could make a long video that you have the camera in a stationary set that we could let play like ambiance relaxing type video. That would dope. Something to fall asleep too
Thanks for the idea, that's definitely something I'll look to do. You might be interested in one of my old live streams that is similar to what you are asking for ua-cam.com/users/live604RcNbTJKI
@@KungFuShrimp , oh cool thx. Yeah I looked around for videos like that but either the tank sucked or it had some crappy music in the background or it just wasn't real. I really enjoy everything you put out. I've learned a lot as well as I've been entertained . So thx a bunch
8:12 Bruce issa Savaaaaage nice narration
great vid, you seem to use similar repeating copyright free music for the fights, I recommend ‘united we stand by savfk’ as good copyright free music for Bruce’s fights I think it’d be cool
I'll check it out
Does its punches get weaker each punched because of exhaustion or how long can they keep up 100% power for each punch?
Oh lol 5:08
I love how bruce snatched the small hermit crab and goes back into his lair
If Bruce taught me anything during this fight its to never give up
I’d love to see you actually adopt these creatures by placing a barrier of some sort to block Bruce away to save the crab
Hopefully you come back soon.
That took longer than I thought it would. Hey Bruce What are your punching arms made of ? I noticed some missed shots that hit some rocks and/or coral that didn't seem to cause any damage.
I was surprised to see the mantis shrimp eat the shell too. And what the heck do you suppose he's doing when he picks up random items for his lair?
He doesn't actually eat the shell but cracks it open to get to the tasty goodness inside
Crab needs some attack capability
Someone uploaded a video within tge last day about a peacock mantis losing to a emerald crab. Was awesome.
He definitely looked snug and he was rubbing his club like a fighter flexes his arm.
I would be afraid the MS’s clubs may receive hairline fractures within the club structure from hitting such a massive shell. Those crabs btw can become huge
We really want to see 👀 more of Bruce, are going to be making anymore videos 📹 of him???
Yes definitely! Life's been a bit busy lately but I'm hoping to get a new video up soon
Been showing your vids to my work colleagues, definitely need more Bruce action Andy 😁
It's coming but these things take time😉
@@KungFuShrimp we've recently got a fish tank at work so I've asked the fishmasters for a ruby shrimp 😁
"Square up devil"
Aw Hell, if it was mantis shrimp vs a huge, uncut diamond, the shrimp would win.
I feel as if I have stumbled into the modern equivalent of the Roman gladiatorial battles...
Are you not entertained!
@@KungFuShrimp Supply the bread and you're all set!
I just wonder if he tries to go after the fish, or are they cool with each other?
That was metal
Bug eyed crawmad vs hermit crawmad
Poor hermit crab..just a innocent crab
They call me BRUCE..
Just added my peacock to the tank, he went to a spot in the tank and hasn’t left the spot and won’t eat about 2 hours of being in the tank. Is that normal?
Yes that's not unusual it can take a while for them to settle in. I would leave him in peace and try feeding again tomorrow
He is a real champion of his tank :D
poor hermit crab
They are mesmeric. 😊
It was only a matter of time...
Super interesting, I really enjoyed that view of wild life in our ocean, I am usually in trees :) Although some Macaques monkeys eat crab.
DUDE HERMITS ARE FUCKING SCAVENGERS
u guys keep saying that mantis shrimp is the best but its unfair the hermit crab was still a baby if u ask me i took care of extremley large ones the size of a babys head so try that against him
Bro it's on the title giant hermit crab are you stupid or smth
Dunno this seems slightly sick
Oh my god why does everyone think that it’s cruel for a natural predator to hunt it’s prey like it is in the wild. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Don’t be so sheltered.
Bruce is right handed
I was rooting for the crab. Didn't like seeing the shrimp finally pry (not prise) him off the rock.
Not a VS. but ok.
bro the shell is big not the hermit crab you need a real big , matured, and an aggresive hermit crab because if the hermit crab is aggresive he will fight
Pelea? Solo lo estás alimentando. El cangrejo nunca tuvo oportunidad.
Absolut bewundernswert
Wtf is that thing?!
Bruce: 😈
A 🗣 what about a lobster
Im not staying under u all day i got work to do
🤣 i real life homemade nature show
This is no real battle. Sad to see. 😢
افضل قتال
Poor crab 🦀
Hahaha 😆
🦀🐚v s🦐
I really dislike the fact that you are placing hermit crabs, of all crabs to be destroyed by a mantis shrimp. Use normal crabs
Bener bener kuat tuh kepiting ..
Eh ada org indo
Iya ka 😅😅@@yanu7414
It’s nice they let mentally disabled people own pets
What a boring voice !
It's the one I was born with 😕
This is cruel. I don't like this.
Bro it’s not cruel it’s nature. Peacock mantis shrimp are predators. It’s just the circle of life
@LoganOakes yea get the most dangerous shrimp out of ocean and then use it to destroy things. Very much like nature.
He’s not using it to destroy things he would just like to have a piece of the ocean. And it’s a natural predator so get over it. You can’t be so fragile. It’s nature for a predator to hunt it’s prey.
@@i_nvade8098 I hope you can understand.
This is nature bro. It’s ruthless.
poor hermit crab
