Species of crustacean

Squilla mantis is a species of mantis shrimp found in shallow coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea and the Eastern Atlantic Ocean: it is also known as "pacchero" or "canocchia". Its abundance has led to it being the only commercially fished mantis shrimp in the Mediterranean.

Individuals grow up to 200 millimetres (8 in) long,[2] and is of the spearer type.[3] It is generally dull brown in colouration, but has two brown eye spots, circled in white, at the base of the telson.[4] Other species – including smashers – are also sold in the aquarium trade as Squilla mantis.[5]
